Their private spat finally burst into the open yesterday, with Johnson accusing Sunak of “talking rubbish” for claiming his former boss asked him to do “something I wasn’t prepared to do” — intervene in the award of peerages. The briefing and counter-briefing continued late into the night.

The economic arguments between ‘New Right’ and ‘One Nation’ Conservatives have largely subsided. Indeed, there has been relatively little internal criticism of the Conservatives’ current economic policies. The Conservatives saw 91 MPs rebel over House of Lords Reform in 2012, and some 130 ConservativeMPs voted against gay marriage in 2013. Europe remains as controversial as it was under Thatcher and Major and is perhaps even more of a threat, as the rise of UKIP threatens the Conservatives’ right flank (see the UK update in this online issue: The 2013 local elections and the rise of UKIP).
