Who will tell them?
The letters page of the Sunday Telegraph is a joy to behold, because if you ever need proof that the Tory party has totally lost the plot it is there for you once a week.
The last few editions have had a series of letters by people who were abandoning the Tory party at the election for numerous reasons.
Apparently it has been too woke, too Blairite, too Keynesian, they were socialists in all but name if not communists, they have left us in the grip of the ECHR, were traitors, had hardly drowned any babies and…….. well you get the idea.
Surely anyone looking at the economic illiteracy and complete incompetence of this corrupt bunch of far right losers would decide that they needed to draw back from the cliff edge. Maybe they should re-admit all those one nation tories they kicked out?
No, the answer is that they have not been right wing enough, hardly bigoted at all, have not tried enough to destroy the NHS or to promote the spread of rickets, and are yet to make school children learn to goose step.
The real problem is that the Tory party has marched ever rightwards or at least tried to but has, unlike its members, had to occasionally deal with reality and the real world.
For example, no one can really afford to leave the ECHR, the consequences would be disastrous for cooperation with our neighbours and for the Good Friday peace deal. But the gammons of the Tory party, who know nothing about such things and care even less, have been whipped into a frenzy and cannot understand why it has not already been destroyed.
Nigel Farage must look at those letters and know for a fact that the Tory party is like fruit, ripe for the picking.
Five Tory PMs in a row have promised the impossible in the hope that they could fool their supporters again and again. I can not really see a way back.
Who is going to break the news that nothing that has been promised is deliverable; when Nigel Farage will tell them again and again that he can give them all they want?
The Tories have been destroyed by their own fantasies, it is such a pity that they have taken so much of the country with them.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.

Will someone please explain to me why the BBC keeps referring to Reform as a political party when in fact it`s a limited company whose members pay to join but without having any say in its direction/policies etc? On the other hand the thought of a Reform "party" conference is too horrible to contemplate...so never mind.
And the BBC continues on its merry way, mirroring our poisonous right-wing media, putting Farage centre stage; treating him already as if he is the leader-in-waiting of the opposition to the common sense we can only pray is coming after the GE.
