It’s not a lot of fun being chair of the Tory party these days. Just one damned thing after another. Trying to keep people’s spirits up as the party lurches from one disaster after another. It’s really not that bad, you keep saying. But it is. It really is. It’s worse than that, in fact.
Then you have to keep the money rolling in so you can afford another car crash of a party conference next year. Christ, no one in their right mind would donate to the Conservatives just now. Except maybe the odd certified lunatic or wannabe money-launderer.
