Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

Dear David Davis,
I fear that the worst is yet to come.  After the Conservatives put in a wonderful performance in Henley yesterday, your own by-election could undo some of the good work put in recently against Labour and the Lib Dems.  I had the dubious pleasure of reading through the list of candidates that you [...]

“It has been described by Mr Cameron as ‘personal’. He’s treated [the resignation of David Davis] as a piece of stinking fish. Evidently not something he would have wanted.” – Jack Straw
“Faced with a crucial decision on the safety and protection of the British public, the Conservatives have collapsed into total disarray on what is [...]

Lib Dems: not standing.
BNP: Not standing.
UKIP: Considering it’s position.
Labour: No decision yet.   David Davis says: “This is their issue… If they don’t [put up a candidate], what does it show about their nerve? What matters is the principles that we are dealing with here.”

Dear David Davis,
Although I appreciate that you are busy crushing the Labour Party in Crewe and Nantwich, there is a very important issue for you to deal with once the by-election is over.  The phrases ‘Big Brother’ and ’surveillance society’ are regular fixtures in the media these days, but today the reality of where we are heading [...]

“This is a very serious issue. It’s a breach of a prime ministerial undertaking to Parliament, so it makes the prime minister a liar, basically”
- David Davis, after it was revealed that Home Office and Ministry of Justice officials knew about the police bugging an MP since December which contradicts prime ministerial pledges to protect [...]

Dear David Davis,
I assure you that many other people also have grave concerns about gun crime in this country.  On Christmas Eve, London witnessed yet another horrific shooting that has left a boy fighting for his life.  In a bizarre parallel, this reminds me of the frequent scandals about the government losing our personal data [...]

Dear David Davis,
I find it hard to believe that anyone can view Gordon Brown’s visit to Iraq as anything other than a cynically calculated move to disrupt the Conservative Party’s momentum.  Unfortunately you were one of the biggest losers yesterday.
Liam Fox did his best to put on a brave face when I’m sure he would [...]
