Before.

I thought the speech was a good one even while I disagreed with it. Though given last year I may have just had very low expectations.

Asked what the big challenge for the Tories was, the former minister Lord O’Neill judged: “I guess key people in this party have to stop being dickheads, really.”

A politician with a grasp of what is wrong, finally.

Incidentally, nice to see a proper comment piece in the Graun instead of one barely lasting three paragraphs.
