Do we still have a conservative party? I think the conservative party should be renamed Alt-Labour.
The Cons have moved leftward, the left have moved leftward. It’s just the Left’s move has been so fast they’ve left normal, and rational, people behind.

Since I feel that fascism, or as I prefer to call it National Socialism, is a direct descendent of Lenin’s New Economic Policy, I’d argue that he should be saying ‘moved ever further LEFT and are now neo-fascist’.

Ritchie is a poster child for “Are we the baddies?”
surely one sign of madness is to believe that in policy terms conservative and labour politicians are in any sense different
