Laurence Fox returns to the "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) sofa in one of the first interviews he has given since last week's launch of the new "Reclaim Party" (www.reclaimparty.co.uk). Having previously told us that he was "too passionate to be a politician", Laurence explains he started the new party because his discussions with Conservative politicans led him to realise that the issues that concerned him weren't top of their agenda.
Laurence believes they don't appreciate how fundamental these concerns are to the nation, the fabric of which is fraying, he argues. Their new found voters in the former Labour Red Wall particularly understand this -- and expect something to be done.
Laurence Fox's motivation in founding the Reclaim Party, therefore, was to ensure that a means existed to apply pressure on the Conservatives and ensure that they would be held to account. This seems all the more necessary during the Covid crisis, Laurence continues, when it seems as if the nation is run more by a small cabal of individuals rather than by our elected representatives.
