Moore on Tories

June 05th, 2004 | Category: UK Politics

Charles Moore has said exactly what I am hearing from many Tory supporters. Howard’s position on Europe and UKIP is both disengenous and counter-productive. As one musical wag put it: “I want Howard to be the next Prime Minister, but on the other hand I want to see the Tory Party get a good kicking from UKIP on 10 June. ”

Oh yes, and I have not met one Tory that likes Norris. Some will vote holding their nose, others will vote UKIP. What were the Tories thinking when they picked him?!
