Lib Dem “Targets”
According to the Daily Mail (Thursday 26th January), Four Senior Liberal Democrats are in talk to defect to the Conservatives. Tory Sources said the front benches - all high fliers on the right of the party - have been approached to join David Cameron’s rejuvenated party.
The names that have been mentioned are:
David Law – Work and Pension spokesman
Norman Lamb – Trade and Industry spokesman
Vince Cable – Treasury spokesman
Jeremy Browne – Foreign Affairs spokesman
One source said that David Law has been offered a Cabinet role if Cameron became Premier. The MPs denied they were considering defecting but they are all said to be privately concerned that if left winger Simon Hughes become leader he will ruin the party’s election chances by promising to raise taxes. The leadership race has become a lot more interesting for the tories now.
