Parburypolitica: Queen's Advisor is a Tory Shock! And Little Lord Cameron Was a Pre-Teen Quaffer

Parburypolitica had a story last week about a former Tory PPC. Edward Young was a Reading Councillor and briefly leader of their grouplet. He then stood for parliament in Leigh ... a noble pursuit ... then opposition SpAd to Shadow Chancellor and Leader of the opposition. Then a turn in Granada/Carlton (?Cameron connection) ... and then the Royal Household. He's now hovering unctiously close on the greasy pole to being Principal Private Secretary to HM ER. Parbury thinks this is a shocker. Almost as if HM and her head SpAd have any sway these days.

Jane Griffiths, an ex-Reading Councillor and then de-selected New Labour MP and a blogger thinks Parbury is barking ... up the wrong tree. Then again the picture is of HM ER pressing the flesh ... in Reading. Spooky.

A better story is Parbury's bust of Dave-id Cameron as a prep school tippler. But at least I found out something about how Labour folk are still behaving in Reading. Which extraordinarily seems to be gradually crumbling not so slowly into Lib-Con hands. Twice spooky.
