In this sense
Thatcher's conservatism was by contrast ideological, driven by passionate belief and, in its own way, sustained by a utopian belief in free markets. Traditional conservatism adhered to what might be called the British Ancien Regime: traditional institutions, forms of class deference, aristocratic noblesse oblige and a range of cherished institutions of authority, from the Church of England to Oxbridge and the BBC.
In this sense, British conservatism cut across party lines.

In this sense means according to this definition, or viewed in this way.
It is not necessarily saying that everyone was on the same page, rather that many in the Labour and Liberal parties accepted without question many traditional British institutions, and had no great desire to change them.
