It does, for conservatives anyway, work in America, where a Rees Mogg would fit straight in on abortion. Compare that with Johnson trying to stop abortion pills and having 72 of his own MPs tell him to fuck off.
I’ve always found the phrase “the Tory party at prayer” an interesting one; I get the middle England, Christian thing, and turbulent priests aside, none too challenging for said demographic and allows them to feel good about themselves. However, cursory glance at how a good proportion of those who follow the Church of Rome in Britain think and what they believe in, will reveal thinking much in line with current Tory views on how they want society to react. JRM is a very much a thin end of the wedge, there are some quite extreme views out there, which don’t necessarily fit with a fair and just society

Priti Patel abandons ‘pushbacks’ in Channel days before legal challenge
Priti Patel has abandoned her plan to use pushbacks in the Channel days before the policy was set to be challenged in the High Court.
Correspondence from the government legal department on Sunday night states that the Home Office had withdrawn the policy due to the fact that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was taking over operations in the Channel.
The judicial review claims, lodged by the PCS Union, Care4Calais, Freedom from Torture and Channel Rescue, have now been withdrawn, with the Home Office having agreed to pay the claimants costs.
