How the Left has bullied Britain into going for woke: When Frank Luntz - the world's most influential political pundit - came to the UK, he found a tiny but deafening minority has hijacked all debate. Now he calls for a fightback

For more than three decades Frank Luntz, the world-renowned strategist and pollster, served at the heart of the American political establishment.

He advised George W. Bush and the Republican Party and was a consultant on hit drama The West Wing, which delivered an idealised view of a Left-wing presidency.

He saw both the good and the bad but, throughout those years, he had pride in the American way of doing politics.

Today, however, he feels 'embarrassment and shame' for the land of his birth.

'America used to be the 'shining city on the hill',' he says ruefully. 'I always contended that [America] was the answer. Now we are the problem.'

What worries him most is the impact of the 'woke' agenda and how it is promoting division, suppressing traditional liberties and undermining a shared sense of belonging which is vital for a multiracial society in the 21st century.

The resulting rise in identity politics — based on race, gender, religion or social background — makes it 'impossible to govern and impossible to achieve a consensus', he says.

He describes woke dogma as a modern form of 'McCarthyism' in the way it has 'destroyed livelihoods, families and communities'.

Luntz, 59, a committed Anglophile and contemporary of Boris Johnson at Oxford, warns that what is unfolding in America now is set to threaten the UK imminently.

Do America a favor, Frank. Go to the UK, solve their problems and stay there.

And, you, Frank Duntz, helped put us in the state we're in.
