Don’t mention the war. The Tory benches were fairly subdued ahead of prime minister’s questions. As if everyone had been mainlining Mogadon. And that was just those who had made the effort to show up. Most had chosen to stay away and the larger Conservative MPs were encouraged to manspread. One way of filling the gaps.
There was little chat. Most seemed lost in their own worlds. A vortex of despair. Contemplating their own mortality. After last week’s local election results, there are many Tories who sense they are nearing their sell-by date.
