Douglas Hogg, an unmistakable Tory and duly anti-war, is banished from Parliament.
But the Henry Jackson Society's Michael Gove, David Willetts, Stephen Crabb, Michael Ancram, Chris Bryant, Denis MacShane and Ed Vaizey are not.
Funny, that.

He claimed public money for his moat. I don't care how sound his political views are - he had to stand down, and he has nobody but himself to blame.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as if entirely different criteria were being applied.
ReplyDeleteIntereseting that the aptly named HOGG announces his intention to resign on the day when there is BIGGER news.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt he will be rewarded with a seat in the Lords.
I have written to David Cameron to ask for his assurance he will not subvert the will of the people by placing this SCUMBAG in the Lords in 2010.
He already has an hereditary peerage, so I doubt that he would mind not getting a life one.
ReplyDeleteScooby, what about the Jacksonites, then?
Id be the first to admit I know little about the House of Lords.
ReplyDeleteDid Hailsham not give up a hereditary peergage to become Quentin Hogg........to become a LIFE peer.?
Yes. He was Quintin Hogg MP, who became Viscount Hailsham when his father died, who became Quintin Hogg MP again (because he thought that they were going to make him Leader, but they didn't), who became Lord Hailsham of Saint Marylebone.
ReplyDeleteDouglas Hogg is therefore Viscount Hailsham, with no more need to disclaim in order to sit in the Commons.
