One assumes this is not what the so-called “independents” running the rather vicious #kerryout campaign had in mind:
It seems the campaign has actually won a vote – and possibly a campaigner - for Kerry McCarthy in the form of a friend of tweeter and blogger OxfordSpring, who describes himself as a “Tory political obsessive”.
Also interesting to note the various Tories who are either conspicuously silent, voicing dissent or have backtracked once they became aware of the character of the campaign. This one is from Matthew Barrett, a member of Conservative Friends of Israel:
This one is heading straight for the buffers.
Hat tip: Tom Callow for pointing out Barrett’s about turn.

My my, Tory Bear, calm down.
They don’t like it up ‘em! do they PS?
Evidently you missed the first line of my twitter bio, describing myself as a socialist.
Right, Matthew. You wouldn’t happen to be the same Matthew Barrett who runs Working Class Tory and whose Twitter bio *used* to read “Social conservative and Charlton Athletic fan. Member of the Freedom Association and Conservative Friends of Israel” would you?
Left Outside: indeed they do not!!
All right, guv.
On a different, ideological note, I consider myself to be on the left – it’s just that the modern left (60s-) has deserted its roots in the ILP and the SDF and so on.
Damn, so many Tories so anxious these days to tell us why they deserted the left…
A Tory socialist though? I guess there’s always the first
The left deserted me. Sob.
