Man the lifeboats
<p>It is a basic truth of party politics that as much energy is spent fighting the enemies within as the opposition without.</p>
<p>The present state of UK politics is a textbook case. The Conservative Party, after more than a decade in government, is riddled with factionalism on a scale normally associated with Labour and the parties of the Left. The engine behind this internecine strife is the looming prospect, not just of electoral defeat, but annihilation. Polls place the Labour Party up to 27 points ahead, and especially among MPs who only secured their seats in the Boris Johnson 2019 landslide, there is panic a-plenty. It’s like a corporation where redundancies are in the air.</p>
