Dominic Grieve, I told you so

Dominic is one of the nicest yet most effective MPs in the House. He was a great inspiration to me when I first got actively involved in politics and I am glad that he is now very much at the top table.

I now feel vindicated in my prediction of some while ago.

Good comment on Conhome James, well done.

Will he give way to David Davis when he is re-elected?

Mr C said...

If Davis planned to resign over this issue he should have waited a day or so in order to allow full media attention to be given to the questioning of Brown on his pork barrel dealings.
Nonetheless, we are where we are and have to make the best of it so full support should be given to Davis and the principles of his campaign. However, in so doing, I would like to make a suggestion, speaking from the perspective of one who is not a party member but who has voted Tory recently in disgust at Labour. Could we have less talk of 'civil liberties' and 'human rights' and more of standing up for 'long cherished British Freedoms' please? DD could deliver some serious damage on Labour if he plays this right. The terms human rights and civil liberties have been debased by lefty lawyers and champagne socialists whereas generations of British people have fought and died in defence of the ancient and historic freedoms this corrupt Labour government are happy to set aside.

BTW Good job and belated congrats James for the recent London elections - Boris has made a good start.
