Following Labour’s landslide victory in the recent election, many former Conservative MPs are experiencing the unfamiliarity of summer holidays for the first time since their school days. While some have been soaking up the sun, others are finding the transition to post-Westminster life less idyllic.
One unnamed former MP confided in Guido Fawkes, lamenting the coincidental timing of their first summer off with the worst grouse and salmon season in decades. This suggests that even for those accustomed to privilege, the joys of leisure can be tempered by unfortunate circumstances.
Not all former MPs are lamenting their newfound free time. Matthew Offord, a former Tory MP, has taken to the seas, sharing his recent sailing trip from Guernsey to Greece.
While the summer has been a period of adjustment for many former Tory MPs, it remains to be seen what the long-term impact of the election will be on their lives and careers.
