I'm A One-nation Tory.

I Want To Offer Particular Congratulations To Andrea Leadsom On Her Stunning Achievement. She Is Now Well Placed To Win And Replace The Absurd Gloom In Some Quarters With A Positive, Confident And Optimistic Approach, Not Just To Europe, But To Government All Round.

The Lib Dems Are Not Just Empty. They Are A Void Within A Vacuum Surrounded By A Vast Inanition.

I Have As Much Chance Of Becoming Prime Minister As Of Being Decapitated By A Frisbee Or Of Finding Elvis.

These Days We Dimly Believe That The Second World War Was Won With Russian Blood And American Money; And Though That Is In Some Ways True, It Is Also True That, Without Churchill, Hitler Would Almost Certainly Have Won.

Churchill Decides From Very Early On That He Will Create A Political Position That Is Somehow Above Left And Right, Embodying The Best Points Of Both Sides And Thereby Incarnating The Will Of The Nation. He Thinks Of Himself As A Gigantic Keystone In The Arch, With All The Lesser Stones Logically Induced To Support His Position. He Has A Kind Of Semi-ideology To Go With It - A Leftish Toryism: Imperialist, Romantic, But On The Side Of The Working Man.
