Good morning.

I hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday. (They’re really far too close together.) For our many new subscribers, welcome! This is our weekly newsletter, normally out every Monday, which provides coverage of current events, unlike our main offering, which focuses on long-form, ‘slow news’ analysis.

Today, we analyse Reform’s recent (speculated?) leftward economic turn, and wonder whether it’s too late for the Tories to make a comeback.

This newsletter’s agenda: Can the Tories still undo their catastrophic, Kemi Badenoch-sized mistake? (paid); Reform’s welfarist turn: should we be concerned? (paid)
