Personally I can't see past the cowardice
Rishi Sunak mocked in leaked WhatsApps as grassroots Tories vow to 'go to war' with party's liberals
The Conservative Party Conference is set to start in Manchester this weekend - potentially the last before the next general election. Last year's was marred by infighting over the mini-budget and the leadership of Liz Truss.
Gosh, are we seeing a glimpse of sanity in the Tory ranks? Tory infighting is certainly welcome, especially if this is the kind of thing being said -
One activist said: "It's time to go to war … unfortunately it's with the liberals in our party. Needs to be done we need the party back."
They go on: "Listening to my local party's WhatsApp broadcast it's like the last days of Rome… carrying on with the same old policies that have lost year after year. Ignoring actual conservatives and a conservative message… preferring to appear liberal to appease the middle class liberal climate guilt voters…. Personally I can't see past the cowardice…. I'm pretty sure that's all the public see too."

I thought this might be to your taste, oh blogger.
"Now Hiring: The Ministry of Failure"

dearieme - ha ha, thanks but oh dear, it's all true.
"The principle behind the Ministry's existence and its raison d'etre is simple: failure is more profitable than efficiency."
And as Tim Worstall reminds us - incentives matter.
The scariest (and very credible) claim in the report is that by the time the Tories are electable again, the cultural change within the electorate will make re-election impossible. Having Starmer at the helm will mean closer ties to Europe, more welfare dependency, ongoing mass immigration, and continued BBC and schools brainwashing. It's going to be a long dark night.
Sam - to my mind the next general election isn't likely to resolve anything however it goes unless dissatisfaction runs much deeper than we know. As if the current phase of the Great Game is coming to an end but it isn't clear what replaces it.
