Well, thank God for that. Innocent or not (it hardly matters), Spelman was just hopeless and has been allowed to hang on far too long.At last Cameron's seen sense and placed a towering figure in a job which could have been created for him.

PLEASE DC, reinstate David Davis as Home Secretary....

Im pleased. Pickles & Clarke. Thats the Tories on the attack in the Midlands & Yorkshire. Two solid men, who the ordinary man & woman can identify with, plus Hague as well.
