It might not be a talking point for our leftie media, which now has their globalist men in Number 10 and Number 11, but there is a growing crisis in British conservative politics.
The antidemocratic defenestration of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss in quick succession, alongside the true blue policies they advocated, would have been bad enough.
