No, it just means that he is retiring. We could already have worked that out, and now it has effectively been announced. He has never really done anything, anyway.
That wing of the Conservative Party is finished. Leave won in exactly the wrong places to constitute anything other than a repudiation of 40 years of everything for which it had ever stood, it has just been defeated among Conservative MPs by a resounding two to one, its previously ubiquitous figures have accordingly disappeared from the airwaves, they are running scared of deselection by grassroots that are always fanatically loyal to whoever happens to be the Leader at the given time, and their Somewhere Else To Go has collapsed before everyone's very eyes.
All that, and their nearest thing to an éminence grise, although it is impossible to see how he ever came to be such a thing, has now been given the customary gold clock.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and our people need to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
