- Senior cabinet minister and whips told PM to ditch bill
- Approaches were made as long as six weeks ago
- Private polling shows reforms are “deeply unpopular”
With Ed Miliband citing calls for Andrew Lansley’s scalp from the Tory Reform Group at PMQs yesterday, it has now emerged that senior Conservative figures urged David Cameron to ditch the Health and Social Care Bill as long as six weeks ago. These are thought to include a “senior cabinet minister” and Tory whips.
The Times reports (£):
“Mr Cameron was urged six weeks ago to use his enhanced standing after the EU “veto” to quash the Health and Social Care Bill”
Time for some compulsory euthanasia for Andrew Lansley’s career.
