Yet this crisis is much deeper, and it threatens far more than the Conservative party. And so far the prime minister has failed to impose her authority on a crisis that has particular potential to damage her.

The same weakness permeates the management of parliament and Brexit, where ministerial bravado has succumbed to tactical concession.
