Guardian-reading lefties take over the Conservative Party

Did you know the Conservative Party has been infiltrated by Guardian-reading liberals?

It has, according to Shropshire MP Daniel Kawczynski (Con Shrewsbury and Atcham), who said he was dismayed to discover that so many of his colleagues were members of the liberal elite when he tried to discuss Saudi Arabia with them.

Speaking in the Commons, Mr Kawczynski said: "There is tremendous anger and hostility towards Saudi Arabia in this country.

"On one occasion I was sitting in the Smoking Room waiting for a vote, and I asked 15 Tory MPs what their views were on Saudi Arabia, and every single one made very hostile statements about the country.

"That really upset me, and I did not understand it.

"I think we have a Guardian-reading liberal elite who want to denigrate Saudi Arabia at every opportunity."

Black Country MP John Spellar (Lab Warley), a shadow foreign office minister, later noted: "The hon. Gentleman also expressed his concern that the Conservative party was dominated by Guardian-reading, Radio 4-listening liberal lefties, which I am sure was a revelation to the Foreign Secretary."
