Malcolm Shares His Friends

Malcolm Rifkind swallowed his pride and backed down. He is now supporting “A Man who is head and shoulders above the competition”.

Unfortunately for Ken, as befits a true One Nation Tory, Malcolm’s friends are likely to be shared equitably rather than just transfered.
Deputy Tory leader, Michael Ancram, announced that he would now back David Cameron
Whoops, there goes Ken’s claim on the one nation wets. The only way for Clarke to gain a little momentum at this stage would be to roll himself down a hill.

Yes, and Theresa's declaration for DC underlines how Ken's pitch to those "mid-life" MPs- ie elect me and you'll still have your own chance later- has failed dismally.

You'll be closing this blog next week.

Since when has Michael Ancram been a one nation wet?

Good point, the particular individual screwed up what I was trying to say.

What I mean't was that KC thought he had a lock on MR's support, most of whom presumably belong to the less dry part of the party.

Don't worry about the political bookies. They are just stirring up misschief to get mug punters to lay off and cover their bets.
My money is still on David Davis and I have the slip to prove it.

Conservative victory - how much money are you putting on Davis to actually win the next election? ;)

Imagine the excitement of politics having Brown vs Davis. Wake me up when it's over.
