The leader of the greens thinks he can persuade Putin to give up weapons. The leader of reform thinks he can cut public spending without cutting services. Labour risks falling into same trap in its immigration and asylum policies. To actually change the world we need less bravado and more scrutiny.

I fail to see how rubbing shoulders with a bunch of cranks and conspiracy theorists will "renew" Britain, but maybe Morgan disagrees.
