Someone said to me tonight that David Davis’ campaign was dead as a result of his speech at the conference. I am pleased to confirm that this person has consistently been of the opinion that Ken Clarke is the best person to lead the Tories. What this means, of course, is that this person has no idea what the Tory party is going to do next and, with that in mind, I am optimistic about the prospect of David Davis carrying on to win the leadership contest.
The bad publicity is not Ratner’s style publicity - it remains “good” that people are getting to know him. William Hague, who was too young in 1997, observed that a unifying candidate is a must if the Conservative party is to fight effectively. Old man Clarke will fracture the party more severely than any other individual could. David Davis remains the best hope for the Conservative party and he will be the next leader with William Hague, Liam Fox, David Cameron or George Osborne, the leader after that.

Does Star Trek’s egalitarian communist-esque future have a chance, with fundamentalists with no sense of humour? […]
