Her other half, Andrew Mackay, was my MP when I lived in Bracknell.

The pair of them rinsed the expenses system. From memory they claimed separate properties as their second home and double dipped by both claiming their own and their spouses's travel expenses.

Pair of cunts.

Was knocking off Stephen Milligan before he decided oranges were more his thing.

But then, as I recall, she never did. Why they drag out these hideous numpties and seek their opinions is a huge mystery.

As Edwina Currie is still wheeled out as a talking head, there must be a massive number of former Tory MPs who don't ever want to be quoted again. Sir Bufron Tufton seems happy to tend his garden and play golf for the rest of his days.

Not being related Ann 'Diedre from Corrie' Kirkbride is all I can recall about Julie. Very thin gruel.

Massive number of current Tory MPs don’t seem like they could be bothered.

The US media have what’s called “surrogates”, people who aren’t usually politicians but who can be relied upon to give a party position. That might solve a problem like Julie Kirkbride.

The Tories have them as well. See Toby fucking Young.
