So far the Conservatives are investigating rather than having suspended him as a member, which is a little curious given how eager Francis Maude has been to call for the immediate expulsion of people from other parties when the far right have been involved. Let’s hope that was just him falling prey to passing political temptation to try to score a few cheap points rather than evidence of serious sustained double standards from him on these sorts of issues.
