The Real Opposition In The Commons

Insofar as there is one, then, based on today's PMQs, it is the Labour Left (Gordon Prentice, a Campaign Group member I think, although these days so is even Austin Mitchell) and the Cornerstone Group (three questions, including a superb one from David Burrowes about one-sided extradition arrangements with the United States).

But Cameron and Clegg are paid extra. They are receiving money under false pretences.

  1. Though my sympathies are more with the Campaign group, Edward Leigh of the Cornerstone Group always impresses me. He is very good on PFI - a form of lavish corporate welfare that disgusts ordinary folk whatever their politics.

  2. And he's anti-war, as anyone serious about being a High Tory must be.

  3. Leigh is a Catholic isn't he?

  4. Oh, yes, a recusant aristocrat.

    And a stalwart defender of the Christians in Iraq.
