John Major was supposed to be the Tories' saviour after Thatcherism. Now his premiership looks as weak as Thatcher's ever did. But behind the splits in the Tory party lies the much greater crisis of British society. Lindsey German first analysed that crisis in `The last days of Thatcher', published in International Socialism 48 just as Thatcher's regime fell to pieces. Here she updates her examination of Tory Britain, charting its economic weakness, its social decay, the strengths and weaknesses of the Labour Party and the trade union movement and the prospects for socialists.
