Isn't it great when the Tories turn on themselves?

Iain Dale is erring more and more towards, presumably unconscious, self-parody.

But I have to welcome his Letterman (US version) style "Top Ten reasons", which he's running on 18DS.

Tonight he's running "Top 10 reasons the LibDems should ditch Ming". Should be interesting. I am glad the Tories want to us ditch Ming - this is quite a positive reason for tightly holding onto the man. Mind you, I think the resultant list tonight may transcend such a serious observation.

The top ten reasons why Michael Ancram should be taken out and shot were most entertaining.

I particularly liked:

Number 10: So he knows how the grouse feel.

and

Number 1: Because shooting him inside would mean that you'd have to repaint the walls.

Talking of Tories turning on themselves, I particularly liked this Dale post from a few days ago:

Bercow & Mercer to "Advise" Labour
