Double Take: In 35 years of political journalism, I've never seen a party in such a state as the Tories

Our Westminster columnist and former Political Editor, Andrew Grice, chats to Kirsty Major about why he’s never seen such a weak Conservative Party - or such pointless infighting on Labour’s side of the fence

Andrew Grice on Double Take: I can barely remember a party in such a bad state as the Torys

Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Double Take is a podcast in which we chat to the writers of some of our favourite comment peices. This week we are taking another look at Andy Grice’s column: If Corbyn doesn't stop the war within his party now, the only winners will be the Tories.
