She sounded confident. Though it was hard to know whether this was because she has reconciled herself to the inevitable or if she is so divorced from reality that she took the warmth of her reception at face value. Probably the latter. It wasn’t just Kemi who needed her speech to be a success. The audience did, too. To convince themselves the whole thing hadn’t been a waste of time. Which, of course, it had. An exercise in sub-par performance politics.

Nonsense followed nonsense. The Tories had had to rescue the country from fascism in 1940. Yup and we’ve got Robert Jenrick trying to take the country back in that direction. Yet there was no rebuke for Tories playing the race card. Precious few mentions of Reform, even though the party is haemorrhaging support to Nigel Farage. Almost all Kemi’s barbs were aimed at Labour. Go figure. The Tories are fighting Labour, while Labour is fighting Reform. You couldn’t help feeling that Kemi is just too timid to speak some home truths.
