Iain Dale has written the a href="http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2009/07/emap-davis-quick-maguire"Commons Confidential/a column in this week's New Statesman. I don't know what the magazine's readers will make of his mundane Tory views, but after Kevin Maguire anyone would read like Proust.br /br /There is one oddity. Iain positions himself as an arbiter of political morality - in Norwich North particularly:br /blockquoteI was up in my old stomping ground of Norwich at the weekend, sniffing the by-election air. The Lib Dems had achieved the remarkable feat on the same day of writing to the Tory candidate, Chloe Smith, saying they wanted a good clean campaign and, in the next breath, smearing the Green candidate, Rupert Read, as an “extremist”. How did they get a reputation as the nice guys of British politics?/blockquoteThis is the same Iain Dale who is still a href="http://iaindale.blogspot.com/2009/06/libdems-select-itinerant-for-norwich.html"happily accusing/a the Lib Dem candidate, April Pond, of "whoring herself across Norfolk" on his blog.br /br /Strange.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6606798-2990891540996264338?l=liberalengland.blogspot.com'//div
