Tory donor attacks Cameron’s leadership

A former Tory donor has attacked David Cameron’s leadership of the Tory Party, publishing a book “Goodbye Dave” that catalogue’s his discontent with Cameron’s “betrayal” and “arrogance”, saying:

“Cameron’s toadying to the Liberal Democrats, with Nick Boles and the Notting Hill set screaming in delight, is a betrayal of everything I have believed in and worked for.”

Tony Drury, the former Chairman of The Blue Dragon Club – the Welsh Conservatives’ fundraising organisation – also outlines the discontent among the parliamentary party – especially the Tory right:

“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.”
