The Establishment successfully built the Bumbling Boris relatable image for Boris with Have I Got News for You appearances and TV presenters are more relatable than former Directors of Public Prosecutions. Add in some nationalism and the Tories are talking to some “common” people about what they care about on top of their existing base.

The fact they shouldn’t care about these things to the extent they do (in the eyes of Labour) is irrelevant. The message resonates and Labour don’t have a better one. Corbyn ironically did.
