Lib Con Fight For Scraps: Devil is in the Detail Davis-wise


Well I never Lib Dem Voice have spotted some news on the Sky news blog:

In a further sign of turmoil and panic in the Conservative Party, Shadow Home Secretary and defeated leadership candidate [sic] David Davis has cancelled all his appearances at fringe meetings in Blackpool, a move seen as more evidence of the tension at the very top of the party.

Clearly the LDV Blogger Boys are not as truthless as some of their party associates. So they won't have made it up.

But at the link it has been changed to:

In a further sign of turmoil and panic in the Conservative Party, Shadow Home Secretary and defeated leadership candidate David Davis has turned down all invitations to appear at fringe meetings in Blackpool.
This is a move seen as more evidence of the tension at the very top of the party.

Meaning that someone fairly high up or lower down but very pushy has had the story changed. Just as Iain Dale and his chums moan ever more loudly and sourly about the media favouring Labour.

UPDATE: Iain Dale gave Sky the word, and the word was good, and they changed their blog. As Iain says: "To their credit they reworded it." Now all we need is for Iain to change a mistake he makes when it is pointed out to him!

They changed the story because I pointed out to them it was wrong. To their credit they reworded it.

I thought that might be the case Iain. But I found the discrepancy before visiting your blog. I know you don't like me hanging around there too much so I'm cutting down.
