In the past week, I have spoken to several Tory MPs who are at the end of their tether. And before you bristle, a Labour supporter can still have good relations and friendships with people across the political divide. Some of them are standing down, others are questioning their decision to stay on.
All reluctantly believe that the Tories will lose the next election and they describe a deep anxiety about the future of their party, which I know all about as I’ve lived through it with my own party. They fear they’re on the brink of their very own Corbyn years, but without the young people.
