Tory chair announces 2024 election and hits out at net zero, Corbynistas and ‘cancel culture brigade’
The Tory chairman has announced Boris Johnson is kicking off a two-year election campaign from this May, in a speech that hit out at “net zero dogma” and sought to pitch Labour as still linked to Jeremy Corbyn.
Oliver Dowden, the co-chair and former culture secretary, gave the speech at Tory spring conference in Blackpool, as the party attempts to draw a line under Johnson’s troubles over lockdown-breaking parties.
