There’s a no-holds barred attack on the Tory leadership from the controversial MP in an interview with the Huffington Post. Nadine Dories says:
“We won’t win an election while George Osborne is in a key position in the Conservative party… I think George Osborne is a pernicious influence on the economy, on our political strategy, on our campaigning, on David Cameron personally and on the Number 10 operation.”
She also suggests that David Cameron could go before 2015:
“If we do badly in the PCC [Police and Crime Commissioner] elections and badly in Corby and then we go into county council elections next May and then do badly in that, and if, come 2014, Ukip is the first party of Europe and we come third, all of those MPs who laughed at the prospect of Boris – who the polls say would give us 50 extra MPs – all those MPs who have been adamantly loyal to David Cameron, all of those MPs who see their mortgage payments not being made in June 2015, will suddenly have a very different viewpoint indeed.”
