A brilliant leader from The Sun - and BBC News's new strong, silent approach

Pity the Conservative Party chose not to...

...explain any of this during the election campaign as Mrs. May tacked remorselessly to the Left with silly nonsense about workers on boards and energy price caps. Yes, it does seem incredible that this has to be explained to voters all over again - but as almost every major politician since Mrs. Thatcher has shied away from a defence of capitalism, and as most voters under the age of 45 will have been taught the opposite in state schools and universities, we really shouldn't be that surprised. It's an extremely easy case to make, so, every Tory and every right-winger in the land - make it! Relentlessly!
