Four Lords lose Tory Whip

The Tory Party whip has been withdrawn from four of the five rebels who urged voters to vote for UKIP earlier today. One changed his mind and therefore retains the right to remain with the party, which he has now admitted, he knows are responsible for having relinquished the independence of their and our country! Once again the report is from The Scotsman and is linked from here.

The other four are now reported to be considering joining UKIP. A quote:-

Lord Pearson, who only learned the whip was being withdrawn when told by PA News, described the decision as “potty”.

“I half-expected to have the whip withdrawn from me because I am always the naughty boy round the back of the bicycle sheds,” he said.

“But it is potty, stupid, to withdraw it from the others. I think they are mad.”


Jack Straw, once again tries to gain some mileage for his own similarly disgraced party with this new attack, quoted towards the end of the paper's report:-

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the peers’ move would bring chaos to a party already in a panic over UKIP.

“Today’s letter is the price Michael Howard is now paying for pandering to hard-line europhobes within his party and outside who want to force Britain out of the EU,” he said.


Is the Foreign Secretary having some kind of wild weekend somewhere, where reality can be put aside for a day or two? It certainly appears so!
