  1. Even under Thatcher, the #Conservatives were a broad church. Local parties controlled candidate selection. Many chose cautious moderates.

    #WilliamHague ended that. 0POV leadership elections, but centralised selection of candidates.

    #KemiBadenoch is extremist centraliser. She personally vetts all Tory candidates to pick only zealots. archive.is/srdBF

    #NetZero out. #ECHR out. No debate, no nuance.

    This zealotry has a ceiling of ~20% support. #Kemisphere is cohesive, but small.

  3. #WilliamHague is odd. At 16, he was an awkward right-winger at the #ConservativeParty conference. He was similarly gawky as a by-election winner in 1988 and by the time he retired as Tory leader aged 40, he was still often #cringetastic.

    A decade later, Hague re-emerged as elder statesman-like Foreign Sec to young #DavidCameron. He had been reborn as a perma-60yo establishment stereotype.

    Sadly, #CamillaTominey's interview sheds no light on who he really is.
