English voters vote Conservative. Brexit will cause Scotland (which votes Progressive) to secede. The Conservative majority in England will be reinforced.

Since Brexit will hurt business (major companies have already declared they will shift jobs to the continent), the pro business governement's answer will be to lower taxes (it has already announced plans to do so). AND the English Brexiters want to cut immigration.

Summary: Brexit will inevitably lead to a more capitalist, less egalitarian England.
