This ought to be Tim Farron’s great moment. The Labour Party has been taken over by the hard left, which ought to be a huge opportunity for a party of the centre. Yet the leader of the Liberal Democrats seems peripheral to the historic reshaping of British politics.

Dear Queen,

There was an almost Proustian moment last week when, as Jeremy Corbyn began to address the massed ranks of the TUC in that dogged, put-upon and painfully earnest way of his, I felt the tug of memory twitch at my sleeve.

I have to admit to a long-term obsession with Donald Trump. It began when my kids became obsessed with his US reality show, The Apprentice. In this show, Trump, flanked by downtrodden members of his family, lorded it over business hopefuls by setting them ever more pointless and humiliating tasks. Winners’ rewards would always take the form of further publicity for the mogul with a dead cat on his head.
