The wets are today's centre ground exactly where Cameron sits and wants to sit.... I think most politicians know Leon is utterly toxic as the next few weeks will confirm....Originally posted by VectraMan View PostHe was the leftover from the era of The Wets. Probably Cameron wants to distance himself as much as possible from those Tories.

He was the leftover from the era of The Wets. Probably Cameron wants to distance himself as much as possible from those Tories.Originally posted by eek View Postcurious statement from Cameron
“Leon Brittan was a dedicated and fiercely intelligent public servant. As a central figure in Margaret Thatcher’s government, he helped her transform our country for the better by giving distinguished service as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Home Secretary and Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. He went on to play a leading role at the European Commission where he did so much to promote free trade in Europe and across the world. More recently, he made an active contribution to the House of Lords. My thoughts are with Leon’s family and friends at this sad time.”
Very, um, distant and factual.
