“As the only working class Tory supporter man in the village of Manchester, a one party Marxist principality if ever there was one, my mood has risen much on discovering that there is such a publication as ‘The Conservative Woman’. ..that mood only trumped by the idea of Farage back in the fray.”
Not for the first time in recent months, we have suspended our regular Hero and Villain feature this week. The appalling fire in Kensington, like the previous terror attacks in Manchester and London, dwarfs the turbulence of everyday politics. We again offer our condolences to the families and friends of the many victims. In the weeks and months to come, there will be opportunity to debate the implications of this dreadful tragedy.
