Most people would prefer Clarke to Cameron ! He is one of the few Tories who actually seems able to communicate with people and does not act like some sort of cloned cybernaut in a dark suit and blue tie. There is also little doubt that he was a very able Chancellor.
Of course, his pro-EU position has not endeared himself to the Tory Party faithful even though, when in power, they signed up to one European Treaty after another (Single European Act, Maastricht, Amsterdam etc).
I’ve long been a fan of kKen Clarke – an excellent politician. Every time I listen to Osborne I picture him with an empty think bubble above his head. Probably unfair – but his public statements to date do not fill me with confidence.
Pity that Clarke is a Tory 🙂
clarke amused me on any questions. he thought the questions about ashcroft were all a bit much and it was frankly quite a faff for the party to know or bother to ask anything about his tax status; there were lots of people in the party – can’t kno what all of them are up to; nobody had asked him (ken) about his own tax status and it was none of their business etc etc. all very bluff and ‘let’s be reasonable’ and all entirely spurious. strikes me that is what he is good for. coming out with some crap which is masked behind his hush-puppies likes-a-bit-of-jazz all-round-good-chap-persona.
ken livingstone then cut through the bluster with a bit of good old-fashioned class politics saying ‘this is exactly the shonky behaviour we can expect form the nasty public school bullingdon chums running your party’. ken l does come out with some unpalatable stuff, but i love it when he gets down to business.
I thought that Clarke didn’t do himself any favours by defending Ashcroft’s position on Any Questions.
Clarke is far more credible a figure than Osborne, although his political record is far from unblemished.
