david davies is mourning the tories that they won't win at - the tories that they won't win at the toriesteresting. it's the perception that they tax ordinary people heavily rather than people who could possibly, arguably, afford to pay more tax. this follows the revelations this week about what the freezing of the income tax allowance is. which is a stealth tax for ordinary people. if you earn about £30,000 a year, you're going to be paying another £350 extra in tax this year and next year and the year after. so that for an awful lot of people, they are going to perceive themselves as having been very heavily squeezed, they won't have seen the levelling up of the areas that they thought would happen and they might turn against the tories at the next election and i think this cost of is just, it's not on as many of the front pages as i thought it would be, but it is beginning to preoccupy people, just as the energy prices soar. preoccupy people, 'ust as the energy rices soar. �* , ., ~ preoccupy people, 'ust as the energy rices soar. �*, ., ,, ., prices soar. let's talk about the front pa

this was all raised at a meeting of tory mps on tuesday.ppalled at the time. it took another three days, i think, for the name to come out. there had been huge speculation in westminster about who this might be. and then today, saturday, mr parish realises he could not possibly carry on, so it has been dragging on now forfour days. the opposition and some tory mps certainly think this could have all been done faster. i think the conservative party will be relieved, though, that this isn't festering anymore through into next week as we head towards, of course, very important local elections on thursday. yeah. i suppose the question is does that draw a line under it, because coming up next, because of what's happened is we have a by—election in a seat that was considered safe for the tories, but comparisons are being made with what happened in north shropshire, so it's not a done deal, is it? true, another rock—solid seat, owen patterson was the mp, left parliament because of a saga around lobbying and there had been a huge uproar in parliame

the allegations were first made at a meeting of tory mps on tuesday. it was shocking the debacle dragged on for several days. conservative mps have been angry too. neil himself, once he had the whip suspended, moved very swiftly to resign and undoubtedly that was the right thing for him to do. the thing that disappointed me was that we didn't see the conservative whips act more swiftly when this complaint was first brought to their attention. the normally rock—solid tory seat of tiverton and honiton in devon will now have the drama of a by—election, after scandal abruptly engulfed its outgoing mp. ben wright, bbc news. the bbc�*s south west political editor, martyn oates, carried out that exclusive interview with neil parish — he's been telling us a bit more about the details that have emerged. he had not actually thought, and the news broke. he did offer that apology to female colleagues today. i also asked him about this issue of culture because of course he gave an interview to gb news earlier in the week. he was invited to talk about something else
