A Tory MP says she would 'rather die' than form an election pact with the LibDems - an idea recently floated by Nick Boles, the newly elected Conservative MP for Stamford and Grantham.
It seems Mr Boles' suggestion of the Tories getting even more familiar with their LibDem Coalition partners has gone down like a lead balloon among both Tory grandees - as well as rank and file members of both parties.
Meanwhile, I had to chuckle at Tory MP for Wellingborough Peter Bone was on the Politics Show at lunchtime attacking the LibDems, saying they couldn't be trusted.
Self-confessed right-winger Mr Bone generously said he thought he could trust Labour, but not the LibDems!
Well, with friends like Mr Bone (once dubbed the meannest boss in Britain - after bragging of the poverty wages he paid his staff), who needs enemies...?

Hack puts phone-hacking scandal back in the news...
An interview with a former News of the World journalist to be broadcast on C4's Despatches programme tomorrow night will put more the phone-hacking scandal back in the headlines.
Andy Coulson, now the Prime Minister's chief spin-doctor, resigned as editor of the NotW when one of his journalists went to prison for phone-hacking.
Coulson himself has always denied any knowledge of illegal activities when he was editor.
But The Guardian says that on C4 tomorrow, a senior journo who worked alongside Coulson will claim - albeit anonymously - that Coulson not only knew his reporters used intecepted voicemail messages, but that he was actually involved.
The journalist, said, like Coulson to be a former editor of the paper, claims when Couldon was told of intercepted voicemail messages of public figures, he demanded that he hear the tape or an email transcript to be sure they were authentic.
No doubt as Mr Cameron stands by his man, I'm sure he was hoping the phone-hacking scandal would go away - at least during the week of their Conference.
Not a chance.
It may be a slow-burner, but it seems this one will drip, drip and drip again for some time to come...

Cameron throws red meat to his Tory Euro-sceptics...
Good to see the ugly face of David Cameron's Conservatives finally getting some exposure.
This week our local Euro-MP Glenis Willmott is rightly questioning why Cameron's Conservatives have allied themselves with a right-wing - some would say extremist - organisation.
The Conservative Leader wants us to believe he has the judgement to lead our country - but he can't see a problem getting into bed with a right-wing party which takes part in controversial marches said to celebrate the wartime Latvian SS.
I would have thought the very name Latvian Fatherland and Freedom Party would have set alarm bells ringing with David Cameron who wants us to believe he has the judgement necessary to lead our country...
But David - or do we have to call him 'Dave' now - clearly did a deal with the unsavoury right-wing Euro-sceptics in his Party when he became Tory Leader.
Just about the only promise Cameron has kept is to abandon the British Conservatives long-held links with the moderate European Peoples Party, and join a new rag-bag coalition of right wing nutters - including the Latvian Fatherland and Freedom Party, amongst others.
By abandoning the EPP - the party of Sarkozy and Merkle, the UK Conservatives are isolated in Europe. Given the chance, they would isolate Britain in Europe.
You don't have to take my word. Ask life-long Conservative MEP Edward McMillan Scott who defected to the LibDems at the weekend.
McMillan-Scott put it in his own words in a telling article in The Observer in which he describes the Conservatives under David Cameron as not a nice party.

Conservatives caught inflating teenage pregnancies...by ten times!
David Cameron and the Conservatives never let the facts get in the way of their agenda of talking Britain down.
They seem to have learned nothing from last week's official rap on the knuckles after they falsely claimedviolent crime was rising.
This time they're guilty of an absolute howler, wrongly claiming that in some deprived areas of the country, more than half of all teenage girls get pregnant.
It's total Tory tosh of course.
They are so determined to talk Britain down as part of their "Britain is Broken" bollox that they've inflated the pregnancy figures by TEN times.
The truth is teenage pregnancy rates have actually fallen since 1997, not risen.
Fit to run the country...?

Cameron candidate who quit, attacks party 'dinosaurs' and says she'll stand after all...
One of David Cameron's so-called 'A' list candidates who dramatically threw in the towel last night now says she will stand after all - just 24 hours after resigning and accusing some in her Party of being 'dinosaurs'...
Who can she be talking about...?
Seems Eric Pickles, the rotund Party chairman turned up at a meeting of Westminster North Constituency Conservatives last night in an attempt to close-down bitter in-fighting in the Party.
After working his magic, Mr Pickles had managed to inflame the situation so much that he managed to leave with the resignation of the wife of the unlikely named Octavius Black, one his Eton pals?
David Cameron was no doubt less than chuffed with Mr Pickles, and was apparently busy making phone calls to repair the damage today.
He reportedly originally foisted the partner of the said Octavius onto Westminster North Tories, causing bad blood among Westminster Tories.
The London Standard says the Tories have been scrambling today to rescue her political career after it descended into chaos.
As Tories squabbled, no doubt the very able Karen Buck, Labour's MP for the area, was quietly getting on with the important work of representing the people of Westminster North.

Tory councillors, brunette, hypnotic love...and the police...
Reluctant to intrude on personal grief, but couldn't resist sharing the Romford Recorder's big story this week of a Tory love triangle which went wrong, sparking a police investigation.
This should have the Conservative followers in Romford and Havering choking on their cornflakes...(specially if they read it in the News of the World on Sunday!).
This should have the Conservative followers in Romford and Havering choking on their cornflakes...(specially if they read it in the News of the World on Sunday!).
Guess who's sick of Cameron's spin and smiles...?
Who's sick of 'happy chappy Dave' leading the Conservative Party with 'all this PR stuff, smiling at everyone and saying everything people want to hear...'
Former Tory Minister David Mellor, that's who!
Mellor was asked on BBC's 'This Week' programme whether he thought David Cameron 'had it in him' to lead our country.
His revealing reply: 'I don't know.'
Hardly a resounding vote of confidence.
The fact that even a former Conservative Minister can see through Cameron's spin and doesn't know what his party stands for anymore, surely demonstrates that Cameron's Conservatives are not fit to govern Britain.
David Mellor went on:'The issue for David Cameron's Conservatives is, do the Tories stand for anything that the public is going to get excited about...'
He said that under Cameron's 'leadership' voters 'don't really know what the Tories are all about.'
I hope he's wrong and that voters know precisely what the Tories are all about..
You only have to listen to David Cameron and Boy George Osborne to understand what:
1. They are about the same as they were when Mellor was a Government Minister.
2. They are about imposing immediate damaging cuts to vital public services that would pull the rug from under the fragile economic recovery.
3. They are about bringing back the cruel 'sport' of ripping foxes apart with packs of dogs.
4. They are about giving a tax-break to the richest few estates in the country while cutting Child Tax Credits for the many and slashing funding for the network of SureStart Childrens Centres built by Labour!
5. And yes, Mr Mellor, Cameron's Tories are about all this PR stuff, smiling at everyone and saying anything people want to hear.
Who will forget the pictures of Dave riding his bike to work to demonstrate his 'green' credentials, while his chauffeur follows behind in the limo!
Same old Tories, eh?

Stats Authority slams Conservative Crime Con...
Sky News reporting that the chairman of the UK Statistics Authority has officially rebuked Cameron's Conservatives over their scaremongering tactics over violent crime (as I posted HERE.
In a letter sent to David Cameron, the UK Stats Authority says the Tory attempt to show violent crime had risen is misleading and a misuse of statistics.
The UK Stats Authority questions why the Tories did not use the well respected British Crime Survey figures.
The answer of course is obvious...
Because the independent BCS shows that violent crime has in fact HALVED in recent years.
The Tory fox is now well and truly shot.
So no more 'Broken Britain' bollox Mr Cameron.
UPDATE: How The Times is reporting the story.
UPDATE 2: The BBC's Mark Easton gives his take on the rebuke for the Tories and says the Stats Authority takes issue with the claims Chris Grayling made on the Tpoday programme yesterday.
Watch this space for the Tory apology. But don't hold your breath!

BBC says Tories 'shopped' on crime con...
Delighted to hear the Conservative con on violent crime figures exposed on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning.
As I posted last week HERE, David Cameron's 'Broken Britain' campaign relies heavily on them being able to prove violent crime is rising...when he knows that in fact the reverse is the truth.
This morning, the BBC put Mark Easton - their journalist who first publicised the Tory con - head to head with Cameron's spokesman on crime, Chris Grayling.
Grayling had sent out spurious statistics to local Conservative parties across the country encouraging them to claim violent crime had risen since 1997.
Mark Easton explained that the Tories had ignored official clear warnings that the figures they were sending out could not be compared due to major improvements in recording violent crime.
The Conservative spokesman tried to move the debate onto his promise to make collection of crime figures independent of Government.
Mark Easton point out that the British Crime Survey, which has been around for 30 years, IS independent of Government and shows that in recnet years violent crime has been halved - down a full 50 per cent.
The Today presented challenged Mr Grayling: "Now that you have been shopped, will you send out a note to local Conservative parties instructing them not to use these figures...?"
No, of course not.
If they did that, the entire 'Britain is Broken' scare-mongering would be shown for what it is - a Tory con.

Cameron's Canute Conservatives
Astonishing to hear the Prime Minister today being urged from the Conservative benches to scrap Governmment investment in alternative off-shore energy sources.
So now Cameron's Conservatives are campaigning to stop off-shore energy farms, as well as those on-shore too.
Come back King Canute!

Chief Exec takes action at Tory-led Council
More fall-out at the Lincolnshire council where the Conservative Leader facing questions over planning was forced to resign last month.
The Chief Executive of West Lindsey District Council has now reported a number of elected members to the Standards Board apparently over their actions following the suspension of a planning officer.
It's not clear from the report in the Market Rasen Mail which councillors have been named.
Bernard Theobald stepped down as Leader of the Council a month ago following allegations concerning a planning application to develop a site which he jointly owns with another Conservative councillor.
Cllr Theobald was a member of 'Honest' Jim Speechley's Conservative Group on Lincolnshire Council before Mr Speechley was jailed...for abuse of planning procedures.
Cllr Theobald failed in an attempt to take over the Leadership of Lincolnshire County Council in the aftermath of the Speechley affair and lost his seat at the next local elections.
He went on to become Leader of West Lindsey District Council.
I wish to make it clear that Cllr Theobald claims he has done nothing wrong and has resigned to clear his name.
I wish him the best of luck.

Tory wolf in sheep's clothing...?
Had to laugh when I heard 'Cameron's Caring Conservatives' on yesterday's BBC Politics Show promising to improve rights to a fairer split of money and property when non-married couple split up.
So who's trying to persuade us this time that the Tories are no longer the nasty party...?
Stand up Peter Bone, Conservative MP for Wellingborough, Northants.
Surely not the same Peter Bone who bragged to the 1995 Tory Party Conference that he only paid staff in his travel agency a paltry 87-pence-an-hour...
His attempt to ridicule Labour's plan for the first ever national minium wage earned rapturous applause from the Tory rank and file - and the label 'meannest boss in Britain' from the media.
Yes, the very same Mr Bone...
The Tories fought tooth and nail to prevent Labour's national minium wage which put the first ever floor under wages in Britain.
They claimed it would destroy a million jobs...in fact a million more people are in work after the minimum wage was brought in.
Despite a Tory rearguard action to scrap the minimum wage led by people like Peter Bone, last month it was raised to £5.80 an hour.
Isn't that more than six times the sweat-shop wages Mr Bone paid his staff...?
It's another example of the two faces of Cameron's Conservatives - the face of change and the real one...
I know which one I believe.
How about you?

Cameron's spin can't hide the Conservative's Nasty Face...
Anyone who thinks there is not two faces to the Conservatives under David Cameron should read this. There's the face David Cameron wants you to believe - and there's the hidden face which shows that at grassroots the Tories are still the Nasty Party.

Tory revolt as another Londoner parachuted into Lincs...
Local Conservatives are outraged at a decision by their Party to parachute another Londoner into a Lincolnshire parliamentary seat.
Some are threatening to quit Cameron's Conservatives after learning that all local applicants to replace disgraced North Hykeham and Sleaford MP Douglas Hogg have been excluded from the selection process - without even reaching the interview stage.
Mr Hogg hit the national headlines over his expense claims for cleaning his moat at his country pile.
The local would-be candidates include Christine Talbot, my old sparring partner at Lincolnshire County Council, who has broken cover to tell the Lincolnshire Echo to say even non-Tories are upset with the process.
Christine was Conservative candidate in Lincoln in the 2001 general election when she was beaten by Labour's Gilly Merron, now a Government Minister.
The Tory parachute row follows a similar row over their selection in Grantham and Stamford where Christine was also one of the hopefuls.
Another, then Tory county councillor Mark Horn for Bourne went public and attacked the shortlist which he said was made up of
With many more MPs expected to resign of the parliamentary expenses scandal, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Christine!

wealthy, metropolitan, privileged, bright young things...totally out of touch with ordinary folk with no local connections...simply careerists looking for a safe seat.The result was the selection of Londoner Nick Boles.
With many more MPs expected to resign of the parliamentary expenses scandal, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Christine!

Public forced to pay for Waltzing Matilda...
A council leader standing as a Conservative MP at the next election has fiercely defended one of his councillors who has claimed over £2,000 from the public purse while on an Australian walkabout for the past three months....
He's the same leader of Barnet council in north London who was hailed by wee Georgie Osborne recently for facing the "age of austerity and showing the Conservative Party how its done..."
Now we know exactly what wee Georgie meant...
He'll be telling us next that "We're all in this together..."
Same old, eh?

Blow for Tory 'flagship' accused of racism and sexual discrimination...
So George Osborne thinks the Tories should learn lessons on how to run the country from Conservative-run local councils...
In his speech today, wee Georgie cites Tory Wandsworth in London as a flagship authority whose example should be followed.
Just 24-hours earlier, a leading councillor in Wandsworth tore up her Conservative membership card, quit the party and accused the Conservative Council Leader, his deputy and others of
"years of (sexual) discrimination, racism and belittling"

Hannan's so eccentric, he's now on Cameron's side...
The Tory MEP who claimed on American TV that the NHS has been a 60 year mistake was dismissed by David Cameron as an eccentric.
So eccentric in fact that Mr Cameron has rewarded the hard-right Hannan with a plum job in the Conservative team!
After Hannan told Americans last month that 'I wouldn't wish the NHS on anyone', commentators on this side of the pond were split on whether he was a lonely eccentric maverick as Cameron would have us believe, or the voice of many on the extreme right of Cameron's Conservative Party.
Andrew Grice in the Independent suggested that Cameron could control Hannan if he were a loose cannon but concluded: unfortunately for Cameron, he is not.
Telegraph sage Jame Kirkup proved less accurate!
Under the headline Cameron chooses Obama over Hannan, Kirkup asserted Hannan was not popular with the Tory Leadership.
Hannan was later said to anger Cameron even further, by pouring praise on Enoch 'rivers of blood' Powell.
Mr Cameron was clearly angry that Dan Hannan had let the cat out of the bag that the Tories still hate the NHS and tried to kid us on that Hannan didn't speak for the Tory Party.
Well, he does now!

Breathtaking Tory double standards exposed...
The Tory frontbencher campaigning to stop people building in their back gardens is trying to defend plans for an extra room - in her own back garden!
Last week Caroline Spelman was arrogantly telling Tory councils to block plans for housing schemes as long as Gordon Brown was in Downing Street.
She apparently wants to stop 'garden grabbing developers' by making it more difficult for people to build in their own back garden - but only of course after she's built her new garden room!
