New Tory Leader: Kingston Labour Leader resigns: Lib Dems are man overboard?

Stephen Pollard - What is the point of Chatshow Charlie? (Daily Mail)

This has been quite a ten days. Hard to believe that Cameron was only appointed last week and here we are moving to a LibDem crisis. From a Conservative perspective it is good to see that it is no longer us having the leadership crisis and the splits.

I was going to blog on the Kennedy leadership crisis but why bother when others do a better job. I think Stephen Pollard has written a good piece on this and it is worth the read.

The TV news last night seemed to infer that our own Kingston & Surbiton MP (Ed Davey) was at the forefront of pushing for Kennedy's departure. I must admit to being a bit shocked by this because if true it seems a little out of character - but then I don't know him so who can tell!

Agree this article is very good.

Also I agree with you about Mr.Davey. Does not seem likely he would have anything to do with that sort of thing. I am a Lib Dem member and would be pretty peeved if he was trying to destabilise his own party.

I like Davey but he would not be a good leader and he only voted for Charles some six month ago.

Martin Kettle in the Guardian today points the finger at Cable, Lamb, Teather, Davey and Laws.

Not very clever!!
