The lurch to the right has left a hole in the centre ground which Labour are positioned to fill. The Tories are finished as a party of government for at least 10 years, possibly more. The irony is that it is all their own doing

How exactly have Tories lurched to the right? Laughable.

The reason they’re in the hole is because they haven’t been right wing enough.
