Last week’s own goal in which a council leader remarked that the Conservative shadow cabinet “haven’t run a piss-up in a brewery” has renewed the promotion hopes of one Tory backbencher. Positions within licensed industry bodies have raised the prospect of a return to the front bench for former shadow Welsh secretary Nigel Evans.
Speaking exclusively to Political Scrapbook the MP for Ribble Valley said:
“With my varied roles as vice-chair of the All-Party Beer Group and president of pub safety group National Pubwatch, I have most certainly run a piss-up in a brewery.” – Nigel Evans
Friends of Evans claimed last night that several hospitality events the MP had helped to organise took place on brewery premises. A source within CCHQ has confirmed that Team Cameron are looking at ways his experience could be utilised in government, with the possibility that Evans could fill a new role as “Piss-Up Czar”.
Trebles all round!
