Tory MP says the party's campaign in Ealing may cause lasting damage

Mark Field (Tory MP for Westminster) believes that the party's by-election campaign in Ealing Southall may have created lasting damage to the party’s outreach work in the British Asian Communities.

He could well be proved right. For me the words of former Tory MP Quentin Davies take on a new resonance. In his letter to Cameron outlining his reasons for his decision to leave the Conservative party and join Labour he wrote 'Under your leadership the Conservative party appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything. It has no bedrock. It exists on shifting sands. A sense of mission has been replaced by a PR agenda.' Cameron's PR agenda failed miserably last night, how long before he is forced to retreat towards having to peddle past Tory agendas?



 

Ealing Southall, diaries of a Lib Dem: Day 1

I know some of my own party members might not be too enthused about me describing my experiences to the *spits* Labour Party but I'm getting rather fed up of the party divide on the blogosphere about the by election. It seems on the Labour and Tory blogs that the Libs are the root of all by-election evils and visa versa from the Libs so I thought I'd try and break through the gap between us. This was my first by-election and it was an interesting experience for a kid from Suburban Surrey campaigning in a place like Ealing-Southall. Anyway, read on and I'd love to read of your experiences as well if you have any to offer. Plus any friendly advice (and I do mean friendly) is more than welcome.
