Another Prang

Yesterday it seemed for just a moment, during which this blog was complimentary to the Tory effort to re-establish their campaign, that we would return to debate the issues in this peculiar election. But no. Ashcroft was all over the current affairs programmes this morning, with a  clip recording Haig  squirming under Paxman interrogation, sounding dishonest and deceitful. More and more questions are being asked in pubs and clubs about how the party is run and by whom.

The Electoral Commission has investigated and found nothing illegal has happened.With all those Tory lawyers that was a foregone conclusion. Had the law been broken, it would have shattered the Tory party. Nevertheless this affair is coming close to a disaster for the Tories. It will blow over but I think the damage is beyond repair. Their best hope is  that Labour also prangs. There is plenty of opportunity for that. Brown appearing before Chilcot tomorrow for instance. The bullying saga, greeted by the Tories with glee and the Lib Dems with their usual primness, in the end played for Brown. It will be very intersting to see how the game goes at the Inquiry tomorrow.
