Think Cleverly’s line about being more normal has got closer to identifying whats gone wrong for the Conservatives than much analysis. In our focus groups this summer when we asked why the Tories lost lack of relatability & normality came close to the top moreincommon.org.uk/media/r4…

This is almost a transcription of Reagan, who he'd previously said was a hero of his.

Cannot stop thinking of this case. The horror of it has been rattling around my brain, not just what her husband did to her, but how so many men were complicit in the abuse. How are we not in the streets in uproar, why aren’t more men talking about this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…
