Clearly clueless: Nadhim Zahawi at the Conservative Way Forward launch in Westminster’s Churchill War Rooms on 11 July 2022.Clearly clueless: Nadhim Zahawi at the Conservative Way Forward launch in Westminster’s Churchill War Rooms on 11 July 2022.Last modified on Mon 11 Jul 2022 21.17 BSTou might say it’s a longstanding Conservative tradition to suspend reality throughout its leadership elections. Only the Tories have been struggling with reality for years. Just think.

The fun began in the Churchill War Rooms in Westminster where Steve Baker was launching his latest pet project, Conservative Way Forward. The ideal bunker for the bunker mentality. They will never take Steve alive. The CWF is not really a thinktank, as no thinking is ever involved with anyone who aligns themselves to Baker’s derangements: it’s more a nostalgic journey back to pure Thatcherism where the market and low taxes solve everything.

As the word salad continued, a young woman passed out in the heat. It was the most intelligent response of the day, though Tobias Ellwood, one of Zahawi’s surprise backers, pushed a few people out of the way to offer his help. Not that he wanted anyone to notice, of course. Meanwhile Nadhim just carried on spluttering. Oblivious to the drama. Oblivious to everything. Other than getting to the end. It had effectively been the shortest leadership campaign of the season.

Territories urge federal government to pass bill restoring their rights to make euthanasia lawsACT independent senator David Pocock says he will introduce his own bill in Senate for territory rights if Labor too slow I have zero interest in anything Pocock has to say. He started his tenure by whinging, before he was even sworn in. I think it’s fairly obvious that he doesn’t support a Labor government. Can’t see him improving.
