"British politics currently exists in a weird time warp. Like some bad special
effects from an early episode of Dr Who, time and reality are bent and
twisted – only this time it’s all sadly true.

This time warp operates in four main ways.

The first is that lots happens but nothing changes. Another prime minister has
gone, but the same party, bereft of ideas, is still in office, clinging to
power for its own sake.

It is a measure of the collapse of confidence among Conservative MPs that they
fear electoral oblivion from what should be a quite unassailable majority of 71
seats in the current parliament."
