Kilroy resigns the Whip

Not just happy to focus.... he insists we focus on the one issue... he was most vociferous.

Mainly I suspect because he hasnt read the manifesto!

But on Thursday, Mr Kilroy-Silk said: "If they expelled me they would be pressing the self-destruct button."

The next question, of course, is whether Mr Kilroy-Silk will now stand for a Commons seat at the general election - and if so, against who?

I would have thought that the next question will be - what will he try next to get the leadership? I am sure that very few of the constituencies would turn down his application to become their PPC, if they don't already have one. This is a done thing. I believe that the favoured constituency was to stand against Geoff Hoon in Ashfield.

I think he has quite a few friends in the West Midlands constituencies that would help him INTO phpbb_PPC position. I don't think he will do anything for a while now. He will go for the leadership when it comes up of course, and it all depends on what he says and does up until then if he wants a good chance. I just hope he doesn't do a lot of sniping at the leaders up until then.

I don't think that he could be much more critical than he has already been.

Many Tories feared that if Mr Kilroy-Silk, a former television presenter, became the UKIP leader, he would have given the party a much higher profile in the coming general election.

The Tories will certainly be happy.
