The Tory party under David Cameron has become a pale-blue twin of New Labour, offering change without alteration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHitchens, a former Lobby reporter, examines and mocks the flock mentality of most Westminster journalists, explains how unattributable lunches guide coverage and why so many reporters - once slavish admirers of Labour - now follow the Tory line. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis updated edition of Hitchens''s \u003ci\u003eThe Broken Compass\u003c\/i\u003e (2009) features a brand new introduction.  In an excoriating analysis, Hitchens examines the Tory Party''s record in government and opposition, dismissing it as a failure on all fronts but one - the ability to win office without principle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe one thing it certainly isn''t is conservative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317463556478,"sku":"NW9781472967152","price":17.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781472967152.jpg?v=1779358204","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/cameron-delusion","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
