Esther McVey, who is perfectly groomed with a pretty face and a strong Scouse accent, follows behind. In the car she is more ladette than lady, telling us she will tell the whips to ‘piss off’ if they make her stay too late. Wonderful. But this new bunch of Tories should not be underestimated: many of them believe they were elected despite David Cameron, not because of him. Many even whisper that they could have doubled their majority if he hadn’t been such a liberal wimp.
