Conservative Party showed genuine signs of life at its annual conference.

The contrast between the Conservatives ’ merry post-mortem and the funereal atmosphere at Labour ’s victory fête was as plain as it was curious.

Even Rishi Sunak was rewarded with a starry-eyed send-off this week .

The Conservatives lost because they were widely viewed as incompetent.

Projecting competence is the necessary first step on the path to a Conservative rebuild.

But it isn’t clear what recourse exists for the next leader to project such a virtue.

The levers of government are no longer the Tories ’ to exploit; restoring the party’s reputation for competence was, in truth, Rishi Sunak .

Next Tory leader will take charge of a party riven with a series of competing, hostile elements.

Choosing what to change “from”, let alone “to” will be treated as an ideological decision.

And more: how does the party publicly reflect on its record in government?.
