Which 2 Have Written to the '22?
Melissa Kite's Telegraph story claiming that "At least two MPs, and possibly as many as half a dozen, have written to Sir Michael Spicer, the chairman of the 1922 Committee, to call for a vote of no confidence, it can be revealed today" is a little less precise than her much derided prediction of a "senior treasury role for David Ruffley" in the Tory reshuffle.
Who are the two who want Dave to go?

It is definitely not the Cornerstoners as some seem to be implying. I spoke to a senior member today. They feel they are at last winning Cameron's ear, and would not work that way.
More likely it is the start of the Murdoch scheme to replace Cameron, which Stephan Shakespeare picked up on when interviewing a Murdoch editor recently, which would point the finger at the rump of the Portillistas. They don't like Cameron standing firm against the EU Constitution.
John Bercow to the fore as per usual would be my best guess. Why don't his constituents propose a vote of no confidence in him now he's gone to be openly europhile like Ken Clarke? He was elected as a eurosceptic.
But Dave's not finished Blairizing the party into the ground!
There are considerably more MPs than Melissa Kite states thinking about writing. The sooner that they do and that the Tories get rid of these destroyers of conservatism, these LibDems in drag, the sooner the party will actually become electable on a national level again.
David Davis and Liam Fox.
At least I hope so.
Oh that this outbreak of tradition and sanity gains momentum! I would so like to be able to vote Tory again.
Who are the two? Probalbly the only two people in the country who give a damn about the tory party.
Tapestry,
He wasn't elected as a eurosceptic, he was elected as a Conservative and as such is following the lead of the er, leadership by being inconsistant, in fact he seems more Cameroon than Cameron
Attacking Dave is madness, he 's humiliating a tongue-tied and stuttering BRown every week at pmq's, and as a result of Gord's negligence (he only worries about himself) most of the country's now underwater.
There we are with a General Election possible within the next 3 to 9 months and we have idiots like these muting a possible leadership challenge for the media to have a field day with. Who the hell do these people think would fare any better with the electorate ? You stick with Cameron and possibly win or ditch him now and definitely suffer a rout at the polls. That's the alternative ! Michael Spicer should tell them to either **** off to the Labour Party or UKIP depending on their inclinations.
Such an awful story. "Two MPs, and possibly as many as half a dozen". So that could be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 then. Very precise journalism. The MPs are likely to be of the junior sort. I don't think any members of the shadow cabinet would be stupid enough to rock the boat any further than it has been rocked this week.
The Two MPs are Brown and Straw.
Labour voters think your man is doing a bloody good job.You just need to give him a chance.We honestly feel that the "Cameroooony" and his "Cameroonies"are the way forward.Tears in the old eyes when I saw your man wading into the floods to rescue old people from certain boredom.It showed he cared,and that's nice "The Nice Party".After the October election he will blossom into an effective Opposition Leader.Trust me on this posters'.
Cameron's secure. The two or more back-stabbers aren't. If my MP was involved I'd do my utmost to deselect him.

Trouble is Baldy you ain't got an awful lot of M.P.s' to start with.
Sounds like a story fresh out of Labour HQ to me - just the sort of thing Brown would plant with the lickspittle Times

Like what ? Perhaps a well crafted comment posted here ? That's about it,like most you'd do nothing but moan a bit.

Think your missing the big picture Gordy,voters don't watch PMQS'.I do, and your man came across as a bit smarmy,bit like Blair.Gordon however came across as genuine,we liked what we saw.

Totally agree - disloyal ****s.
Of course, they may be already thinking of joining the government benches. Never underestimate an ambitious and gullible fool offered the illusion of ministerial advancement and proper recognition of his "talents" too long overlooked by an ungrateful leadership!
Who gives a shit about the infighting?
Truth is "Call Me Dave" has got to go. No need to shed any tears for Dave as there must be a job for him with the LibDems and probably as their Leader.
Now let's find a proper Tory leader for the Tory party!
William Hague of course.
perhaps these "tories" are working for bruun,destabilise cam then call aa snap election.promises of jobs and power might have turned them.
Same here bebopper.
Of more concern, and not remarked on anywhere in the blogs this am, is the "senior frontbencher" (does that have to mean Shad Cab level)? who briefed against Cameron to the Observer, even - as that leftie rage pointed out, risibly - suggesting he was losing to Brown at PMQs.
That "senior frontbencher" needs to be found by the whips and made a junior backbencher, or possibly whipless crossbencher, right away.
I really hope it isn't Fox.
Who gives a monkeys arse? New learder? Same old shite.
Madness. We are clearly going to get deservedly stuffed at the next election, and we want to make sure the person responsible, ie Cameron, is there to take the blame. Maybe afterwards the party will see sense and pick a Conservative as leader, but in the meantime we don't want to give the wets any opportunity to claim defeat wasn't due to the socialist 'Project Cameron'.
Not Hague ! Bring back Iain 'The Cough' Duncan Smith.
The Quiet Man is back, and he's turning up the volume !!!
Come on folks - get real.
It is Cameron or no one..
My money is on 'Bonkers' Dorries.
Having blotted her copybook over the Grammar Schools / Abortion / Gypsies issues her only chance of ever ever getting into the Shadow Cabinet is with a different leader. In fact the only way I can see her getting any kind of non-backbench position is if Ann Widdecombe becomes leader.
Now there's a thought...
Cameron will not the Tory Party the next election - a hung Parliament if we are lucky. Then it will be down to the most famous Tory in the land to eventually come forward to save the Tory Party and by then that person will be Boris Johnson.
London Mayor, Olympics, HIGNFY how much more profile could a man get and not be a sure thing for national leader!
"Who are the two who want Dave to go?"
The two that spend the next few days with their heads down and their backsides showing so that the rest of us can give them a boot of confidence!
Yea, the people have seen a light, the ligh reflected off the high forehead of...
Hague '08

This "don't rock the boat" stuff makes me sick. I want their boat to reach the harbour of electoral success, but with Cameron as vapid and scatty captain it's the rapids it is heading for. Cannot they see this - it's staring them in the face, the lemmings. Roll on the figure 29! If the grassroots were voting for leader now, the result would not be the same as it was after that one conference speech.
Guido, why not go the full monty and campaign for Boris as leader as well if he is that good!
I don't understand this bizarre loyalty to Dopey Dave. He's dead in the water and too far up his own backside to be of any use to man nor beast. Get rid of him now and give someone else a fighting chance of leading the party to an election victory. Sadly the words "pigs" and "fly" spring to mind but at least give it a fair shot.
Cameron looks like Tin-Tin with that bleach scrubbed face and silly quiff, a natural vote loser. BTW if you painted the last liberal leader (whose name I forget) yellow he was a dead ringer for Tweety Pie.

I think a spell as UN Secretary General would give him a little extra breadth of experience and would nicely round off his groomingship for the top job at CCHQ.
The tories are deep in the brown stuff. Despite their socialism, Gordon's outfit are hungry and professional. The Miliband brothers, Yvette Cooper, Ed Balls, James Purnell are youngish (late 30s, early 40s) cabinet ministers, hungry for power.
The Tories' line-up is a cast of has-beens and deadbeats. There is no way they will win. It isn't Dave's fault, there just isn't the ambition and talent in the parliamentary party to draw from.
Yes, it is alot of bog and stuff that does maketh the man who does suffer the swine herder's instinct to get rid of the most definite objective, when Tesco's Price Checker does maketh Angular Momentum Practioners choose a new
objective of desire.
Or to you who do not know how I Reginald Eberneerzer Skinflint Blackadder does see it, is that David is in need of a new directional job title, as most of his Serfdom is under water.
That is he has been signed up by the Honourable Water paddlers of old Father Thames, as a
GONDERLIER, 2nd class
as he did not Punt and Dennis as well as he should at Eton?
Wearyingly unsubtle, these trolls.

not entirely fair, I feel, but accurate. Not entirely fair because there are talented politicians there (eg Hague) and some good policy-wonks (eg Willets) that have been unlucky, and are thus tainted with a whiff of failure. There are also some who look like they could do a lot in the future (eg Gove, Grayling, Hunt) but are as yet untested.
Sorry, this is meant to be scandalous, isn't it? Ok, rocking horses, nappies, isn't that Levy chap awful etc...
Stick a six in front and you might be nearer the real figure of those that think he's toast.
Bridget the midget may well be one of them.
"Trolls" - I wasn't meaning you, Reginald etc., I meant the Anonymous immediately before you. (Though you'll forgive me for saying that I'm not 100% sure what you were on about.)
I feel we are witnessing the beginning of the end of Cameron. This firm-held belief has nothing whatsoever to do with the recent spate of Spicery letters, but, a general realisation that he is, indeed, crap!
The person causing most damage to Dave--is DAVE!
