BLOODY PANICO! Or, Whatever Happened to The Tory Party?

Geoffrey Wheatcroft in conversation with Oliver Letwin

Leading political commentator, Geoffrey Wheatcroft, argues that the Tory Party has not only faced the loss of government but also an existential crisis. Having been the most electorally successful party in the history of modern Europe – it has been in power for 85 of the past 135 years – it has now sunk almost into oblivion! So what went wrong?
In Bloody Panico!, Wheatcroft charts not just the collapse of the party but its shattering to its foundations. Beyond the pantomime of Boris, Truss and the managerial dullness of Sunak, the fabric of the party is frayed. This could see them cast into the political wilderness for decades.
