Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Rishi Sunak

 Britain will have a Prime Minister of South Asian descent. While the Conservative Party was poisoned by Brexit, it's worth noting that all three female PMs in Britain's history were women and now their first PM who is not ethnically "British" (English, Welsh or Scottish) will be a Conservative as well.

The Conservative Party has some bad ideas. Liz Truss and Brexiteers had the worst ideas. But they don't lean into racism and sexism to win elections, so good for them.
