My Noble Lord Tebbit
Now isn’t this an interesting thing for a former Tory Cabinet Minister to say?
Lord Tebbit told Today: “What I am advising people is to show the major parties that it is the electors who are masters and the electors are extremely upset with their employees in the House of Commons and I said don’t vote for the major parties.”
As Nick Robinson points out:
BBC Political editor Nick Robinson said Lord Tebbit was choosing his words carefully in not endorsing a particular party - a move which would lead him being expelled from the Conservative Party.
But he said Lord Tebbit’s “extraordinary” intervention would be seen as an effective endorsement for the UK Independence Party, which campaigns for withdrawal from the EU.
A very effective endorsement as well, don’t you think?
