The Tories love the union but the shocks of their 12 years in office stirred nationalist sentiments. This has led some to ask which would survive longer: the ancient Conservative and Unionist Party, or the even older United Kingdom that it governs?
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskIt has. The Tories’ popularity has crumbled. Polls point to a landslide majority for Labour if an election were held tomorrow. A new era in Britain’s territorial politics is opening up, and the union has a reprieve and a chance of renewal.
The outcome was not collapse but stalemate. The union, which ought to be a living, evolving thing, has become frozen and brittle. But with Labour’s surge, the ice is shifting. Powerless in Scotland, Labour has been irrelevant in Northern Ireland. Sir Tony Blair helped forge the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which stemmed decades of bloodshed. But under Jeremy Corbyn, Sir Keir’s predecessor, who supported Irish Republicanism much as Bangkok taxi-drivers support Manchester United—enthusiastically, but from afar—it had nothing to offer.
