Tory Funding: More Left-Right Squabbling


Iain Dale is wondering how Johan Eliasch ever made his money snapping "to rash judgements like this". Which may look a little like a rash judgement on Dale's part. Wheeler and Kalms saying Dave-id is not right enough then Eliasch saying he's too right.

John Rentoul, writing in The Independent puts the whole thing down to a clash between worldly Andy "Phone Tap" Coulson and other worldly Steve "Who He?" Hilton.

Times Online has the Tories saying: "Johann Eliasch has stood down as a deputy treasurer to focus on climate change issues, however, his full and financial support for David Cameron's leadership continues."

And there's more: Ben Brogan who had the Eliasch story early doors and also claimed "the surge is working" as today's polls are better has the much tipped defective John Bercow taking a new role:

I hate to add to David Cameron's difficulties, but I'm told on good authority that Gordon Brown has hired John Bercow to do some work for the Government. No, he hasn't defected, as many have expected, but something is being announced today apparently. It could be fairly innocuous. Whichever way you slice it up though, the fact that a Tory MP - and 'reformed' right-winger at that - thinks it's ok to get consensual with the Big Clunking Fist is an interesting test of the new politics proclaimed by Mr Cameron.
