Davis feud + Lib dems independence!
So on the eve of Cameron being crowned Conservative Party Leader he has a bit of a problem on his hands. Rumours have now been spreading for several days that Cameron intends to demote Davis from shadow home secretary to shadow defence secretary. Whilst this is still a significant position, those close to Davis has claimed that if the rumours are true then Mr Davis will refuse to be part of the shadow cabinet. Liam Fox is expected to become the new shadow Home Secretary.
On the issue of our yellow friends, Charles Kennedy has today rubbished any suggestions of a pact between the Conservatives and the Lib dems. Whilst Cameron has repeatedly claimed that he wants to reclaim the centre ground, Kennedy in his interview on Sky News Sunday stated that:
"We do best as a party, and the last two elections under my own leadership have shown this, where we campaign independently and then subsequently conduct ourselves independently in the House of Commons"
Thank goodness for that
