Peter Rhodes on power, policies and the quiet dignity of a beaten PM’s wife
How will the Tories ever get back into power?
Simple. The party lost votes to the left (Lib-Dems) and to the right (Reform UK).
Therefore, the Tories must move left. And right.
I bet many who had their political wakening during the past 14 years are dismayed at how quickly the moment of triumph passes.
If this were a football competition, there would be days of boozy celebration, an open-top bus tour of the city and a glitzy civic reception.
But in British politics it's all very clipped and controlled. One bloke makes his victory speech, another bloke makes a public apology and the removal trucks move in and out of Downing Street. Sorted.
