Tory Conference

Government is about leadership as much as it is about anything. It is also about unity, common purpose, and a narrative which connects. It is  about a vision which is translated into policies that deliver outcomes which advance the standard of life of the population by all measures and in every quarter. Those were once the core values of the Tory party. Now it is failing by every single measure.

Everybody is arguing with everybody, plotting and planning for a variety of outcomes, not one of which has enough support to get anywhere. Candidates to replace May are lining up and jockeying for position. None inspire nor command enough backers to carry the day, but they and their sponsors seek out every media opportunity to savage each other. There is no longer a cabinet but an argument. The parliamentary party is a fight.

Unless something, someone or all of them get a grip, they are headed for one thing and one thing only.
