When I venture to Westminster nowadays, I have taken to playing a little game. It’s a bit childish, but so be it. I seek out some Tory, whether it’s an MP, a No10 homunculus, a special adviser or an ermined toady. I ask each of them a simple question: ‘What, in your opinion, is the Tory Party for?’ Not what was it for, nor indeed what it might become for, but right now, the Tory Party as the party of government? I mean Rishi Sunak’s Conservative administration. ‘What’, I ask, ‘is it for?’.
