After weeks of dragging its feet and giving the distinct impression it would rather walk through broken glass than take part in the upcoming EU elections, the Conservative Party finally launched its campaign for the European elections this afternoon.
To celebrate the launch, which the other parties began preparing for several weeks ago, Theresa May and a handful of Tory MEP candidates headed to a tiny, drab function room in the Bristol City football stadium, with no Tory supporters present.
In her speech announcing the start of the campaign, Theresa May assured the viewing public that a vote for the Conservatives was also a vote for Brexit.
Unfortunately, when it came to whether her government would be able to deliver Brexit or not, the Prime Minister seemed far less confident about her government’s prospects. As she began to say that the Conservatives ‘will’ deliver Brexit, the PM had to quickly correct herself and say the party ‘can’ deliver Brexit instead:

Mr S can’t imagine the underwhelming launch will be inspiring any Tory activists…
