John Ward – The Fallen Mighty On Twitter – 22 October 2014

I was intrigued this afternoon to see a tweet from Bruno Waterfield, a press correspondent in Brussels. It reads: ‘Tories who obeyed No 10 instructions to vote for @JunckerEU: Ashworth, Girling, Karim, Kirkhope, McIntyre, Swinburne’.

So there you have it: our noble David Cameron who was going to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to stop Juncker from getting the job is now reduced to ordering his MEPs to vote for this nasty pisshead. We are left wondering what strongarm tactics might have been used by the Berlin fridge-magnet to bring our gutless PM into line.

It pains me to offer this, but full marks to Dan Hannan for his rebellion on the issue.
