Cameron backed by far-right
It is well-known that David Cameron is facing fierce resistance from his MEP's over his plan to take them out of Europe's largest centre-right group, the EPP.
What is less well known however, are the nasty, extreme-right, connections of those backing his proposals.

Cheryl the Peril
The appointment of Cheryl Gillen as Shadow Secretary of State for Wales is a yet another snub to the principality. Cameron's decided that none of his Welsh MP’s are up to the job, so has parachuted in a failed former Government Minister to the most senior position in the Welsh Conservative Party, even her old friend Iain Dale is questioning her appointment.
When Cheryl the Peril was a Minister in John Major’s Government, she said: “The introduction of a national minimum wage… would strike at the heart of the job opportunities that would be available”. Being from Buckinghamshire, perhaps she doesn't realise that the salaries of over 80,000 people in Wales have increased since... yes, you guessed it, the introduction of the National Minimum Wage!

Change to win
Less than 48 hours after David Cameron promised the "change the way we look", CCHQ released the following statement:
"William Hague has returned to the political front line, as Shadow Foreign Secretary and the senior member of David Cameron's new Shadow Cabinet. The former Party leader and one-time Welsh Secretary heads the list of senior figures appointed to top posts following the leadership election on December 6... Mr Cameron has confirmed his leadership rival David Davis in his existing role as Shadow Home Secretary, while another contender for the leadership, Dr Liam Fox, takes on the Shadow Defence portfolio. George Osborne remains as Shadow Chancellor, and Francis Maude continues as Party Chairman. While Lord Strathclyde continues as Shadow Leader of the House of Lords, Oliver Letwin MP switches to a new role as Chairman of the Policy Review and Chairman of the Conservative Research Department."
