(Picture: Daniel Hambury)Three become two this afternoon in the Tory party leadership race, which now feels like a bi-annual event. The turnover of Conservative leaders and Prime Ministers — four in the past seven years — is neither good for the party nor for the country, which is crying out for political stability.
As the party once again chooses its new chief, it must question why it has this high rate of leadership turnover and failure. You can argue that Europe and Brexit felled two leaders — David Cameron and Theresa May. Boris Johnson’s case was different. He was brought down by himself, by his serial dishonesty, narcissism and incompetence.
