It is December 12, 2019, and I’m at Riverside TV studios in London, waiting to take part in Channel 4’s Alternative Election Night broadcast. It feels like a gathering point for the so-called ‘metropolitan elite’. If Remainer Central were a stop on the District Line, everyone would get off here. As a working-class Conservative, I once again find myself in the wrong ‘neighbourhood’. Boris and the Conservatives have won – and in style. There has been a huge swing to the Right from working-class voters, especially in the North. Many of us have been predicting this for a while, but not even I expected such a seismic lurch.
