Watching the Channel 4 leadership debate last night was thoroughly depressing. If only Boris Johnson’s premiership hadn’t ended in the way it did – a surreal version of the famous butterfly effect where one man gropes another in the Carlton Club and the leader of a nuclear power gets the boot.

Without Boris there seems so little to differentiate the Conservatives from Labour. Both parties claim to want to lower taxes. Both seem utterly unable to navigate the mad woke maze. And both desperately want us to believe they alone have the solution to an inflationary crisis that threatens to sink the global economy, when clearly they don’t (it’s fair to say Boris didn’t appear to, either).
