The Tory Right are about to get their cuts and free schools. Methinks they will remain relatively subdued for now.

NOBBLING SUCCEED.

The 1922 was a toy/pram interface trapped in 1957. Dave has now turned it into something more like the Parliamentary Labour Party. He has also, more importantly, humiliated Bill Cash.

It is a good day.

Surely this is only the equivalent of forcing unions to accept managers and employers as members, which I’m sure the Dave-and-Nick headed government would do if they could.

Not really, it’s not like the backbenches of the Tory Party are employees of the ministers, they’re employees of the state, the 1922 committee is nothing like a union. An MP’s union would be a funny thing if you think about it. Which you clearly haven’t.

What little wimps the tory back benchers are.

Remember the 1990s when Billy Cash would come on my TV every night to say he would vote against all those nasty European treaties? All the members of the fruit and nut club would tell us that they would vote against. And they did. So little Johnny Major said I will call a confidence vote and all the fruits walked through the yes lobby.

Pathetic.

I have to admit to being torn about this.

Anything that reins in the Tory right is likely to be a very good thing.

On the other hand, the bolstering of Dave’s control of the Tory party I’m not so sure about – the possibility of the Tory party tearing itself apart because of the coalition they formed could be very painful for me. I mean, when you laugh that much it really does hurt…
