Buckingham Tory stands up to be counted.


Guido Fawkes has the news that the first big name in Buckingham's Tory circles has come out and supported Nigel Farage's campaign against John Bercow. Well done Sir Nicholas Bonsor, a former MP who I understand may be risking his Conservative Party membership by backing Farage.

I have heard that the orders from David Cameron are stern: Buckingham Tories are not to back, let alone campaign for Farage. While Cameron's contempt for Bercow personally is well known, I suspect he doesn't exactly like the prospect of Farage causing problems by probing his own anti-EU backbenchers into a stir.

Tory commentators may remain pessimistic about UKIP becoming a major force in Westminster, but I truly believe that it will only take one UKIP MP to start taking the fight to the establishment inside the Commons for the momentum to very quickly build. I can think of no one better to initiate what is to be a vicious battle than Nigel Farage. Not to mention the fantastic constituency representative he would be for the people of Buckingham.

I hope and pray that the people of Buckingham send Nigel to the Commons. I would love to see him get stuck into them. We need to have serious questions put to the shower of crooks who have sold our country.
