Well, well – he’s certainly started with a work rate that puts some Conservative Shadow Cabinet members to shame … for it’s another day, and another attack from Ken Clarke on the policies that David Cameron and George Osborne have been pushing. Following up his earlier comments about the IMF, this time Ken Clarke has criticised them over tax policy. As Benedict Brogan reports:
What Ken Clarke has to say about promoting marriage through the tax system amounts to a violent rejection of everything Dave and George have been proposing. Better yet, he justifies it by claiming the Shadow Chancellor will have to ditch the policy because he won’t be able to afford it.

PS Someone could always try asking Ken Clarke what he thinks about David Cameron’s policy towards the Human Rights Act.

“Well, well – he’s certainly started with a work rate that puts some Conservative Shadow Cabinet members to shame … for it’s another day, and another attack from Ken Clarke on the policies that David Cameron and George Osborne have been pushing.”
Actually, this is a report of comments Clarke made in December last year.
Mr Clarke sent at least one high-profile refugee back to personal danger in Nigeria when he was at the Home Office, so his human rights record is not spotless.
