We are not in that situation. Kemi Badenoch didn't energize the audience when she spoke at her conference, despite she threw out the provocative rhetoric of border-focused rhetoric she believed they wanted.

The issue wasn't that they’d all woken up with a revived feeling of humanity; rather they were skeptical she’d ever be able to implement it. In practice, a substitute. Tories hate that. An influential party member was said to label it a “themed procession”: noisy, animated, but still a parting.

What Next for this Party That Can Reasonably Claim to Make for Itself as the Most Historically Successful Democratic Party in History?

Some are having another squiz at Robert Jenrick, who was a definite refusal at the beginning – but now it’s the end, and rivals has departed. Another group is generating a buzz around a newer MP, a young parliamentarian of the latest cohort, who looks like a traditional Conservative while wallpapering her online profiles with immigration-critical posts.
