‘Ben’ Couchen succeeded for the Tories, but with the aid of unrepeatable bungs from central government.

‘Andy’ Street failed, if only just, in the West Midlands.

‘Rishi’ Sunak is universally acknowledged as a political disaster who is bound to fail.

There is no one else.

All the attempts to brand the Tories as anything but what they really are - a nasty, openly racist, far-right party with contempt for the majority of people - are failing. The adherence to a culture of indifference to people, the planet, and anything that matters to a person who can think about more than money, has destroyed this party.

What now? Can it recover? Should it recover? And if so, what as, and what should it espouse?

Even if it did, should the twenty per cent or so of its true believers ever again have the right to control the political narrative of a country where most are repulsed by what the Tories think?

And to where should that majority look for ideas when it is clear that Labour is almost as bereft of them, which is the only thing that might still give remaining Tories hope?

Where now for politics that matters in other words?

Seeking to answer that question is why this blog exists, is my best answer.
