Tory Leadership: “most opposition leaders…go to bed thinking they are Thatcher…wake up and realise they have ended up more like former Labour leader Michael Foot: that their party has lost again and is going to have to wait another five years to get back into office.” www.ft.com/content/78e4...

As @stephenkb.bsky.social points out “This is a party that looks pretty set upon doing what first-term oppositions always do: deciding that it lost because it wasn’t sufficiently like itself, & then losing the next election” They can’t believe that THEY THEMSELVES & their values are the problem
