This sense of English identity had neither need for meaning nor expression ten years ago and is the direct, and accountable, consequence of the Labour party’s constitutional cynicism.
From an unnamed author at Conservative Home.
The rest of the article is a bit short on specifics (eg how exactly do the Tories take advantage of the rise in English nationalism without simultaneously destroying the Union) and too overly dismissive of the possibility of a pride in "British" identity existing outside Northern Ireland, but still worth a read.
