Brexit - a revolutionary moment in British politics. Voters in
long-forgotten English towns made their disenchantment clear,
overwhelmingly voting to `take back control' from a remote and
defective economic system. Despite this decisive message in 2016,
the concerns of these forgotten towns have continued to be all but
ignored. David Skelton grew up in Consett, a north-eastern town
where the steel industry has deep roots. When the steelworks closed
almost forty years ago it lost everything, a story echoed in towns
across England. Skelton uses Consett's experience to discuss what
has gone wrong and how we can put it right. He considers a broken
social contract and the economic and identity liberalism which has
neglected the needs of a great bulk of the population. Little
Platoons calls for a revival of One Nation to recognise the needs
of people in such towns. It argues that a brave Tory Party can
shatter decades-old boundaries and redraw the political map by
marrying social reform with private enterprise, enhancing community
values and allowing long-ignored voters to genuinely take back
control.
