It’s hard to explain the end-of-days vibe at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Government loyalists declared that this re-incarnation of Margaret Thatcher was not for turning on cutting the top rate of tax. Fast forward 12 hours to the mother of allU- turns.
Normally when a government backtracks, there’s some kind of pay-off. Not this time. People all over the country are having sleepless nights about their mortgages. This is not your average Westminster bubble story. Everyone is talking about it. I’m not sure people will forgive or forget this anxiety.
