The Tory get together is being torn aside by the ogre they helped to unleash

Rishi Sunak and his Conservative Party are being devoured by the Faragenstein monster they helped create and feed.

The bitter split on the Right of British politics, between the Tories and Reform UK, will only serve to help Keir Starmer into Downing Street.

With his diet version of Trumpist bigotry and anti-migrant hatred, weak and unprincipled Sunak only fuelled the Hard Right’s appetite for an even stronger variety – and Farage supplied the full-fat brand.

Now that Sunak has shown himself as too feeble and politically inept to suspend candidates being investigated over a vote-date betting scandal, all bets are off as to how many Tory voters will switch to Reform.

Sunak and Farage, Brexit brothers-in-arms in 2016, dislike each other intensely and, as ever in modern Conservative disasters, Boris Johnson casts a long shadow.

The lying Partygater owed his 2019 triumph, to a considerable extent, to calculating that Farage would pull candidates from contesting Tory seats. But what nasty Nige gives, nasty Nige takes back with a vengeance.

Denied the establishment knighthood he so sweatily craved, Mr Farage’s gleeful mission is now to smash the Conservatives, then either colonise or replace them.

True, the Conservatives bounced back to power in 2010 from 165 MPs in 1997 and 166 in 2001.

And, as a Labour old timer once quipped to me, along with cockroaches they would probably even survive nuclear Armageddon. But what if 2024 is different?

What if the Tories are actually reduced to a rump of 53 MPs, as projected by pollsters Savanta?

I have my doubts yet the Faragenstein monster might have his coveted seat – a bridgehead in Parliament – and cowering Tory survivors might embrace their tormentor.

That would be another electoral bonus for Labour, a Tory Reform UK party headed by wrecker Farage struggling to build an alliance wide enough to come out on top in an election.

The fanning of division and bigotry, however, would be awful for communities and the country.

Tories and their Fleet Street champions would suddenly be training their guns on the Putin apologist they indulged and encouraged.

Reform, the Tories and their newspaper cheerleaders will get exactly what they didn’t want should Starmer be moving into No10 on July 5.

That’s what is called justice.
