Adam Trimingham, in the delightful quizzical way we have come to know and love, ponders the possible demise of the Tories.

There will always be a place for a reactionary, war-mongering party in this country. After all, we have one in government at the moment.

Adam is quite right to question the need for two such parties. Labour, when it was Labour, examined the case for war critically - now it goes to war at the bidding of very questionable individuals as long as they reside at The White House.
