The future's red - the future's Labour

So Ken Clarke's out. I can't help but feel that the Conservatives have just ditched what miniscule chance they might have had of winning the next election. David Cameron might be the man to lead them back into power eventually, although I'm not sure about the wisdom of going for a Blair-alike, but in any event, even if he can fight off being taken over by the right-wing, as William Hague was, I can see it taking him a good few years to do the business. As for David Davis and Liam Fox - permanent opposition, I'm afraid.
