Iain Dale gets his claws into David Mellor

Here's a thoroughly enjoyable rant by Iain Dale against David Mellor on Five Live:

David Mellor has just illustrated why the Tories have been out of power for ten
years. He described David Cameron as glib, superficial and flimsy - there's certainly a danger of Mellor looking like that, as well as arrogant. Some of us in the Tory Party are sick and tired of hearing from failed relics like him. He was a failure in government and helped bring the Tory Party to its knees. How he has the cheek to lecture David Cameron on how he should lead the Tory Party I just don't know. Why doesn't he just disappear and let those of us who have a future in the Tory Party get on and try to win an election - he should just disappear into the place where all failed politicians go.

Priceless.

    But what's he supposed to do until he gets that peerage >;-)

  2. Agreed - priceless.

    Mellor came across dreadfully in that interview; really self-important and dismissive. He had it coming.
