In today's Independent, Jeremy Hunt Shadow Secretary of State for Culture says
“David Cameron rightly expects all members of his Shadow Cabinet to put every ounce of energy they can into defeating this disastrous government, so no one should have any interests that deflect them from this.”
So will William Hague be giving up his directorships and make more speeches in the House of Commons than he does at dinners?
Will Oliver Letwin stop going to work in the City in the mornings for a merchant bank and make his work in the Shadow Cabinet what he puts “every ounce of energy into”?
Nothing released to the press to say that Ken Clarke will be dropping his directorships to focus his energies fully. I have always found puzzling the media view that Ken Clarke is a “nicer” Tory. As Deputy Chairman of British American Tobacco he has promoted a habit smoking that kills millions prematurely and puts vast unnecessary costs on health services, ultimately paid for by us as taxpayers.
Come on Jeremy, weren’t you being a little economical with the truth?
How can David Cameron ask to run the country when he can't even get his Shadow Cabinet to do what he asks?
