EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tim Anderson, we are transported back to the vibrant political landscape of June 1997. The image features Stephen Dorrell, former Health Secretary and Conservative MP for Charnwood, making a grand entrance at the Ken Clark leadership drinks party. However, what truly catches our attention is the unexpected presence of a fringe group of supporters for Michael Portillo. As we observe the scene closely, it becomes apparent that these passionate individuals have donned Mexican hats and proudly hold placards advocating for Portillo's cause. Their unwavering support shines through their spirited expressions and enthusiastic gestures. This snapshot encapsulates an intriguing moment in British politics during the Conservative leadership election. It serves as a reminder that even within established political parties like the Conservatives, diverse factions can emerge with differing loyalties and ideologies. The juxtaposition between Dorrell's prominent position within his own party and this group of ardent Portillo supporters creates an atmosphere charged with anticipation and intrigue. It prompts us to reflect on how political landscapes can shift dramatically over time, leaving behind remnants of past campaigns and allegiances. Tim Anderson's expertly composed photograph not only captures a specific point in history but also invites us to delve deeper into the complexities of political dynamics during this era.
