Some Conservative leaders … Chris York. Reading between the lines, there was a clear message in his speech – accept Brexit is going to happen.But there was also something else – a sense of unity as he declared a “one nation” He welcomed voters in constituencies that had turned blue overnight, adding: “I’m proud to say that members of our new one nation government, a people’s government, will set out from constituencies that have never returned a Conservative MP for 100 years.”Johnson then appealed to Remainers, insisting his “one nation” government would never ignore their feelings of “warmth and sympathy” towards the other nations of Europe.“I frankly urge everyone on either side of what are, after three and a half years, increasingly arid argument[s] – I urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin.”So this “one nation conservatism” sounds quite nice, but what actually is it?Disraeli surmised that Britain was “two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets.”Although Disraeli never used the term himself, his work as PM to bridge the divide through paternalistic policies that encouraged the wealthy to assist the less well off has since become known as the original example of one-nation conservatism.Back in 2010 when he was mayor of London, Johnson detailed his own interpretation of the philosophy whilst talking about the need to keep the capital a “competitive, dynamic place to come to work”.But how does this same philosophy apply now he is PM with a huge parliamentary majority?Johnson’s comments reflect an appreciation of the truly tectonic shifts in the country that last night meant seats that had been Labour for nearly a century ditched Jeremy Corbyn and flocked to the Tories.Johnson spoke directly to these voters when he said: “In this moment of national resolution I want to speak directly to those who made it possible, and to those who voted for us for the first time and those whose pencils may have wavered over the ballot and who heard the voices of their parents and grandparents whispering anxiously in their ears.“I say: thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me.“We will work around the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you.”One nation conservatism is the most convenient catch-all term to appeal to both traditional Tory voters and the party’s new converts.But to keep the converts converted, Johnson will have to address the issues that – outside of Brexit – are typically of concern in these areas, and which voters traditionally look to Labour to look after.The PM addressed this in his victory speech, saying: ”I’ve heard it loud and clear from every corner of the country that the overwhelming priority of the British people now is that we should focus above all on the NHS.”He added: “That simple and beautiful idea that represents the best of our country with the biggest ever cash boost, 50,000 more nurses, 40 new hospitals as well as providing better schools, safer streets and in the next few weeks and months we will be bringing forward proposals to transform this country with better infrastructure, better education, better technology.”The biggest test for how committed to one nation conservatism Johnson actually is will be if he delivers on his promise to “repay” new Tory voters in working class areas.He has not got off to the best start – that promise of “50,000 more nurses, 40 new hospitals” was There is also has another facet to the “one nation” rhetoric – one incredibly advantageous to the PM.By invoking terms like “one nation” and “the people’s government” – which, given the whopping majority he secured last night he can legitimately now do – he can now ignore any talk of second referendums or anything else that could potentially get in his way of delivering Brexit.Johnson will be ‘ruthless’ over adding France to UK quarantine listPerez: Vettel to Racing Point rumours will soon disappearNew Look launches restructuring to cut shop rents and debt pileU.S. The real Boris Johnson: one-nation Tory or raging populist? federal contract ban takes effect for companies using products from Huawei, othersDoing this one thing could help you lose a pound a weekBMW M3 Touring estate, a first, teased on InstagramJoin Jennie Bond on a royal-themed staycation in Norfolk next yearTrump rolls back methane climate standards for oil and gas industryRussell Crowe donates 5k to Beruit restaurant in memory of Anthony BourdainYes, Diana The Musical Is Coming To Netflix Before Its Broadway DebutShaun Wane extends England contract amid NRL interestU.S. Here’s one of these disappointments in action: a lickspittle MP called Johnny Mercer very much taking the unquestioning, assume-the-position Establishment line in support of his blundering CO Boris Johnson. The anti-Brexit ‘One Nation’ movement in the Tory Party aims to stop the Conservatives from becoming too right-wing by convincing Boris Johnson to “embrace his liberal instincts”. The PM’s cheerful version of national conservatism swept him to victory. It’s One Nation under Boris Johnson’s populist groove. Will those that remain find solace in Boris Johnson’s victory speech, in which he declared that a “one nation” Conservative government would allow the UK to “find closure and to let the healing begin”?
