Matt gives you this look on social media, how do you open?
Matt Goodwin is a pretty successful alternative "right wing" politics dude, who has got that whole catty, sub-masculine Dissident-Right-to-Mainstream-Right grift going on well. He pops up on quite a few sub-mainstream podcasts and even TV programs (some of them on GB News), and always has a few pieces of readymade spiel (and a book to sell, of course).
His "success," like that of most "successful" (soft) dissident righters, is entirely financial, as he is having zero effect on the political ecosystem. Britain is about to by-pass Nigel Farage's "Reform UK" on the way to giving Labour a massive pro-woke majority.
Nevertheless, it seems there is an entirely good living to be made by being an ineffectual Diss-Righter, as long as you don't use the N-word or "go full Nazi," either in person or through association, and stay on social media 24-7 having sub-gay parasocial relationships with your paypig audience. But analysing the World correctly or changing it in a positive direction is another thing altogether.
The following thankfully concise YouTube video gives a relatively representative sample of his "schtick":
So, what is Goodwin's main analysis here? It is that people are not voting Tory this year because they feel "disconnected" from "the elites," but that Labour voters are voting because they don't really mind the elites.
OK, maybe...
OK, maybe...
Then there is the nub of Goodwin's system -- the reason 2019 Tory voters are not voting Tory this year is because "the elites" believe in "wokeism" as an alternative form of "social signalling," and this makes them hate and despise average White people (wypipo).
This is a common idea, almost a shibboleth, in the Dissident Right, and has a long track record, running all the way back to the original Alt-Right, which I happened to help found, back in the day. In fact, I can distinctly remember Mike Enoch and his gang of proto-Nazis pushing this bilge at The Right Stuff just when it was starting out. I wouldn't be surprised if it ultimately traces all the way back to some KGB laboratory.

The idea, such as it is, is that rich people in the West got bored of showing how fancy they were by knowing about expensive wines, shitty modern art, or by wearing the right combination of polo and yachting gear, and instead switched to showing who is more into transgender rights and Black empowerment to show how "truly upper class" they were.
I never bought into this idea, as it is exactly how it sounds, a big, steaming pile of psycho-intellectual horse manure.
Goodwin reinforces this analytical turd with an adjacent piece of garbage, namely, that the elites are free to indulge is this sort of esoteric values wankery because the consequences are, ahem, not felt by them.
Needless to say, this is pure catnip for the class of emotionally incontinent, midwit, loser boomers and naïve incel zoomers, wallowing in their non-comprehending "poor wittle wypipo" victimhood.

The rich and the elites, let me tell you, are less effected by almost anything than "the Poors." Inflation, for example, is pretty harsh on "the Poors" but has almost no effect on the lifestyles of the rich.
Are we to conclude therefore that the rich believe in hyperinflationary policies? Of course not.
The fact is that rich people and the elites live in the same society as the rest of you, and if that society is becoming a dysfunctional Third World shithole, it will impact on them, although not quite as sharply as on 2019 Red Wall Tory voters.

For a deeper analysis of why elite opinion seems to be aligned with wokery, ignore Matt Goodwin's emotionally pandering and plausible bullshit and read these articles that I prepared earlier:
