John Harris writes for us today, cautioning against schadenfreude at the Tories’ apparently inevitable defeat in the next election. He writes:
The Conservatives’ seemingly unstoppable lurching to the right is actually a grave cause for concern, for a few key reasons.

Effective opposition, in other words, is a very important job, which an unhinged rabble will not be able to carry out.
When Sunak arrived in No 10, he had an opportunity to reaffirm core British values after the years of Johnson and Truss playing fast and loose with them.
Under this Conservative administration, the whole system of international law – not just the ECHR, but also the Refugee Convention and general human rights and humanitarian law – is being systemically undermined.
