Marxist May
Geoffrey Wheatcroft’s piece on the shapeshifting of the Conservative Party (“Never ending Tory,” June) didn’t note the latest twist. With Theresa May’s U-turns and failure to deliver one iota of her promises in her accession speech, she is channelling Groucho Marx’s dictum, “These are my principles… and if you don’t like them I’ve got others.” Under May, the Tories have finally become Marxists.
