Modern conservative thinking

Attempts to separate the good from the bad in modern conservative thinking always fascinate me. This is a great example. It's by Michael Gove. He edits the Times on Saturdays, so has an obvious interest in dissecting the Daily Mail as neatly as he does here. But he does a lovely job not only in analysing the paper, but also relating its contents to factions within the Tory party.
