THERE will be big protests at the Tory Party conference. There deserve to be. Their policies have led to poverty on a massive scale. They have decimated our public services, trampled over our liberties and are now happy to do almost zero to meet our obligations to reach net-zero emissions targets.
But this litany of failure is not simply an indictment of the Tories. It is also an indictment of their policies and everything they stand for.
I fervently hope that they will be gone after the next election; it is the task of the whole labour movement to ensure that they are. Yet it will be a pyrrhic victory if we do not ensure that their policies are ditched too. The country simply cannot afford to carry on in the old way.
