The forced marriage between the Tories and the social liberal faction of the Lib Dems is deteriorating faster than Scrapbook hoped. Only James Cleverly, the Conservatives’ number two in the London Assembly, will be able to explain why referring to the deputy leader of his party’s partner in government as “a dick” was a good idea:
And just in case the rant was overlooked by the copy-starved news machine he had a link auto-posted to his 4,200 followers on Twitter. Bravo!
One can scarcely think of a more effective way to generate “coalition rift” stories during silly season. Perhaps Cleverly should ask CCHQ press office who they think is a dick?
It isn’t Simon Hughes.
