People are genuinely asking themselves how they could ever have imagined voting for them.

Weirdness is the Tories ’ current USP. Something many of their MPs actively cherish.

Without it, they fear they would be nothing. They think that being weird makes them look interesting. It doesn’t of course. It just makes them seem weird. Weirder still is the fact that to every sensible person, they are now an irrelevance.

Ed Miliband was in the Commons for the second reading of his energy bill.

Ed almost made governing look fun - almost pantomime.

The Tories aren’t an opposition. Just punchlines for his gags.

Ed is loving being a cabinet minister. The disappointment of his time as leader is now ancient history.
