Labour probably has at least another four years in office, and whatever its woes - much in evidence at its own painfully regimented party conference - the Tories' first task is to ensure the party's persistent troubles do not cohere into a permanent image of a loser. "I think if you had asked my constituents before this week, they would say we had made a balls of it," says Brian Binley, a new M.P. from Northampton.
