John Redwood joins the tribe of pygmy Tories

Article Abstract:

A lack of judgement has hampered the political career of John Redwood. He has the potential to become a key figure in the UK Conservative party, having already shown courage and intelligence. However, he has made a number of tactical errors, most recently in opposing the decision to grant the freedom of the City of London to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Redwood must be aware that others will not necessarily overlook his flaws simply because he seems to be supporting a worthy cause.

Major vows not to bow to tormentors

Article Abstract:

Prime minister John Major, who is now battling to retain the leadership of the Conservative party, has made it clear that he will resign as prime minister rather than give in to pressure from Eurosceptics within the party. He is determined not to rule out a single currency, even though he now faces the prospect of second round challenges from Michael Heseltine and Michael Portillo. Recent polls indicate that his rating has risen from 21% to 28% since he resigned as party leader.
