Fascinating how every interview with a Tory is discussed through the prism of the EU. The words may say things like we support the disabled and poor and one Toryism etc but it is patently obvious what is going on!

Although both the left and right ( and middle) are all split on the EU, they may toe the party line, but the referendum is going to be interesting ( as well as highly important) and as many on the left may vote for leaving as those on the right.

I think DC is looking rather peaky nowadays.....

I think he looks exhausted at times. Is he off to Spain at Easter?

Your last post does not make sense, roses. There is no party line on the EU, so how can you say they may toe the party line?

This is an interesting way for Crabb to start his new job.
Do you think the DWP should still be hounding these people?
They are Crabb's constituents.
Should he show a bit of compassion, as a compassionate conservative?
Or is it only Cameron who is one of those?

Compassionate conservative is a bit of an oxymoron the two don't sit well together.

Maybe they hope if they say it often enough, someone other than their own backbenchers will believe them.
They all said it today as if they knew what they were talking about.
