The Mail on Sunday is reporting that David Cameron has finally decided to back plans to de-select husband and wife Cheshire MPs Ann & Nicholas Winterton. The two were recently found guilty by the Parliamentary Commissioner of having broken the rules by claiming rent for a flat they already owned.They also refused Cameron's order to publish thier expenses on the Tory website.



Cameron's belated decision is a victory for Labour's candidate in Congleton, Gary Poole, who has mounted a high profile campaign to expose Ann Winterton's appalling record and who intiated the investigation into the couple's expenses abuses.

Gary Poole is a good PPC and doing a great job up in the North West. One to watch.

No way will Cameron do it - they have a strong power base in the party both inside and outside of westminster and this would cause a huge split...

Nevermind, there'll always be a career in media for them as the new Neil and Christine Hamilton.
