The Tory party is doomed – and its own MPs are hastening the demise

SIR – I’m afraid Tim Stanley is right that the Conservative Party is doomed (Comment, October 23). What perplexes me is the self-destructive behaviour on its backbenches. It was given a majority of 80 to enact its policies, but every time the serving prime minister has tried to bring forward sensible legislation to improve the country (on fracking, housing, immigration or anything else), a rebellion has killed it off.

Apart from backing all the absurd pandemic restrictions, Tory MPs don’t seem to have a sense of loyalty anymore, and useful governance has been rendered impossible.
