[It is unprecedented at this stage in the
political cycle for a government as assailed
by as many woes and mistakes of its
own making as this one.
Keir Starmer might have begun Labour's return
to respectability (and, eventually, electability)
in Brighton this past week.
But the current Tory lead shows the
mountain he has to climb.

Even to win a majority of one at the
next election would require a swing to
Labour of more than ten per cent on the 2019 result
and the taking of 123 seats — more than Tony Blair's
historic landslide in 1997.
That is simply mission impossible.
So, plenty of reasons for Tory cheer in Manchester.
But it would be sensible to eschew any sense
of complacency, much less triumphalism
(which would be totally inappropriate at a time of
shortages and supply chain chaos).]
