Ken Clarke's Kamikaze style
Ken Clarke's performance yesterday to the cameras was scarcely likely to win over the friends he needs among MPs to make the cut in tonight's vote. Saying that the membership will not be happy if he and Cameron are not offered to them to vote on sounded:
a) like the sort of threat it is suicidal to make in a democratic election, or
b) a throwaway bit of arrogance, or
c) a sign of desperation suggesting he knows he's down to prop up the poll.
Simon Hoggart writes in his column today that Clarke is still behaving as if he 'doesn't give a fuck'. It shows Ken, and you'll pay for it with the destruction of your last chance to make it to the top spot in your party. Stick to flogging fags is my recommendation.
