The Tory right are revolting – part 2

Earlier this week on LabourList:

The 1922 Committee is squirming in agony. They occasionally question the proposal of a joint manifesto in the assumed 2015 election, but Cameron is walking all over them.

His arrogance is beyond belief. He is power crazed and already planning his own history. His Etonian approach to being Prime Minister, his already frightening lack of consistency, his lack of grasp of economics and his bullying style does not bode well.

Today (via the Telegraph):

Patrick Mercer, a former shadow home affairs minister, was alleged to have branded the Prime Minister “an —-” during a conversation at a party given by a magazine and to have added: “I loathe him.”

Mr Mercer was also claimed in a tape recording, allegedly obtained by The People newspaper, to have said of Mr Cameron: “He’s a most despicable creature without any redeeming features. If I can think of one… he’s very rich.” Asked where the Prime Minister went wrong the MP was said to have replied: “He was born.”
