Oh dear… Dave didn’t do his homework – Ben Brogan has more:
At PMQs yesterday Mr Cameron challenged Gordon Brown about his reluctance to ban from the country Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi: “He was banned by a former Conservative Home Secretary, so why won’t the Government ban him?”
All well and good, except that a few minutes later Michael Howard admitted to Andrew Neil that he had allowed Mr Qaradawi into the country five times while he was Home Secretary – at least once while Mr Cameron was his special adviser. You see the embarrassment? The initial response from Dave’s office was that the world has changed, terrorism is a bigger threat now than 15 years ago, although I’m told there is now talk of bad briefing before PMQs.
