(not satire – it’s the Tory Party!)
A tweet by Tory MP Zac Goldsmith attacking George Osborne as a ‘corporatist’ has heralded the opening shots of a civil war in the Tory Party over government plans to build new runways at Heathrow or Gatwick airports:
Zac’s right of course.
But has he really only just noticed the party he belongs to is far more interested in promoting the rights of large corporations over everything else, including people, health, human rights and national interest?

Odd this, takes me back to the ’70s when Ted Heath was accused of being “corporatist”.
see:
“Sir Samuel’s headline, “The growth engine”, with its attendant picture of an aircraft, makes me think of Rolls-Royce: a FTSE 100 company, technology leader, export earner and all-round success story for UK plc. All this we owe to Edward Heath’s “corporatist” government, which bailed out RR in the early 1970s; “primitive capitalism” would surely have demanded that RR be either wound up or devoured by an overseas competitor. The exception indeed proves the rule, and economists ignore this at their peril.”

He isn’t is he? I thought he was more core-pratist.

A civil war in the Tory Party is always to be welcomed – with the national press mostly on their side, and the propaganda war safely won (until the much more democratic social media gain a lot more power than they have now, anyway), the Tories are their own worst enemy.
