All At Sea

Ah, the internal contradictions of the Conservative Party.

Jeremy Hunt's pitch to lead it is a new Royal Yacht. But not actually built by the State. Yes, you did read that correctly.

Although, unlike Peter Shore, he had not opposed the scrapping of the old one, a new Royal Yacht was John Redwood's pitch to lead the Conservative Party.

He was defeated by two to one.

Something of a recurring theme on the Conservative Right, as it turns out.
