I feel sorry for him

Inspiration here:

Labour had some collection of words I’ve already forgotten, which seems so fitting an epitaph to their conference that I prefer not to look it up. I detected no malice towards Phil Goff among National activists this week, which should worry him; a friend summed it up for me, wrinkling her nose and looking embarrassed: “I feel sorry for him.” A successful Labour leader should provoke something more visceral in a Tory than pity.
