Liam Byrne: The Tories can stage their festivals but cannot escape their history
This week’s Boris and Theresa show, a ludicrous clash of charisma versus cardboard, is far more than a conference-season game of thrones. Its a sign of things to come. Their clash is not a cause of division; its a symptom of a much deeper confusion...

Diane Abbott: The Tories tough on crime? Not where animals are concerned.
The Tories have never been keen on fighting wildlife crime.
