What about “Nick Clegg pulls off political masterstroke”? Did you see that one anywhere?
Whereas had we fielded a candidate, that would have been deemed a political masterstroke?
I should get back to the other thread where reality fits your preconceptions.
Yes, maybe I should.
Julian Glover, in the Guardian, really needs to familiarise himself with history before he throws around references to Whigs & Tories 🙂
“Tories in Turmoil” Surprise yes – resignation on a principle is a most uncommon event at Westminster. Giving up a £60,000 +£???? expenses sinecure is just that!
Brown claims dissension. Where what votes?
Compared to a loss of a 60+ majority. Now that IS SERIOUS DISSENSION! and to held up by the DUP?
Why can not the media focus on reality rater than mendacious sound bytes from a totally discredited PM?
I bet this does not get published – too many home truths!
Yes, an MP throws away his career for something he believes in. Let’s all criticise him!
An MP takes a massive gamble for the sake of civil liberties. What an idiot!
We need more safe, bland, careerist MPs so that this kind of thing doesnt happen.
Eek – sorry, I got trapped in some kind of parallel universe then…
Davis knew in advance we wouldn’t be running against him, so it is just a pathetic little stunt. He knows he won’t lose, so he risks nothing.
