Summary:

"The Tory party has been in power for eighty-five of the past 135 years. In 2019 they won their largest parliamentary majority in more than three decades. They have had a long way to fall since, and they've done it at incredible speed. We have witnessed not simply the collapse of the party but the shattering of its very foundations. Leading political commentator Geoffrey Wheatcroft argues that this is an existential crisis for the party, a tipping point in British political history"-- Provided by publisher.
