In terms of centrist positions, I find myself uncomfortably approving this one more than Starmer's (which was embarrassing rehashed culture war BS mixed with a bit more Corbyn bashing to keep the left in line). Amazing to see a politician come out with some nuanced reflection resulting in a political position.
I feel dirty. I still don't want a Tory PM.

TBH I rate Tugendhat on a lot of things.
His voting record is straight-up conservative "pro-business", small government. But every time I've heard him speak he presents as bright and knowledgeable on his topic. Yes, he's got standard Tory opinions on lots of things, but he seems to at least express his own mind are argue coherently.
Could also be that the current crop of shisters have made anyone normal who possesses a semblance of values look good.

Good thread from Tom Tugendhat MP (yes, yes, he’s a Tory…) about how we should be dealing with Russia.
I’m always a little bit dumbfounded that we (Western Europe) got ourselves into a situation where Putin can turn the screws on us by cutting off the gas.
