John Plunkett. Updated July 5th, 2024

We’ve seen no end of devastating takes on the state of the Conservative Party right now in the wake of Keir Starmer’s Labour landslide but we’re not sure we’ve seen one quite so brutal as this.

It’s Newshub’s European correspondent Lisette Reymer and when we say wait for it, we really do mean it.
