Shock news: another candidate in the Conservative Party leadership race!
The political world was rocked today when it emerged that another candidate has been secretly competing against David Cameron in the Conservative party leadership race.
David Davis, who cheekily shares the same first name as the leadership favourite, has apparently been covertly campaigning for the leadership for a number of weeks.
Iain Dale, Davis' campaign manager has now returned to blogging, and generally everyone is friends again. On his site he provides a few insights into conversations in the Davis camp:
Andrew Mitchell MP: So why exactly does Cameron have more supporters on his website than we have on ours?
William Norton (campaign team): Because he's got more supporters, Andrew.
At the London hustings...
William Norton: Would you like a Davis leaflet, sir?
Tobias Ellwood MP: Er, no I'm an MP and I'm a declared Cameron supporter
William Norton: Don't worry, there aren't any long words in it
