They can see that Britain’s shocking inequality needs addressing, but the solutions go against their true instincts
There is an ancient Indian parable about a group of blind men encountering a huge animal for the first time. Each man grasps a different part of the creature. One thinks he is dealing with something hard and pointed, like a spear. Another thinks it is a vast leathery wall. A third presumes it is a serpentine coil. They each get part of the picture, but none can conceive of the whole elephant.
Thus does the Conservative party prod and grope at the problem of inequality.
