With Downing Street under grey leaden skies. Someones idea of a cosmic joke. Only this time the rain had eased to a light drizzle rather than a torrential downpour. If youre a Tory, you take your blessings where you find them on days like these.After fourteen years of Tory rule, John Crace has seen it all: a bucket-load of sleaze and scandals, myriad questionable policy decisions, and an ever-revolving door of impressive* candidates trying to get themselves to the top of a sinking ship.With a bumpy start, Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and the Labour Party have taken the reins while Kemi Badenoch and the Tories slink off to regroup in opposition. Many proclaim that the United Kingdoms political landscape has changed - but are those fabled sunlit uplands finally in view? Selected from Craces much-loved Guardian column, The Bonfire of the Insanities lights up a new chapter of governmental absurdity with mordant wit and caustic humour.(*terms and conditions apply)
