Just a bit rich

What gems your reporters mined from Tuesday’s Conservative Party Conference (your report, 2 October).

“Cameron revives promise of (John) Major’s classless society” – that was back to basics with ­Edwina Currie, as I recall.

And the SNP’s Stuart McMillan accusing David Cameron of “expecting the people of Scotland to buy a pig in a poke from Westminster”, when all the time I thought that that was precisely what the boys frae Holyrood were offering us. You know what they say – it takes one to know one.

Finally, the Eddie Barnes stiletto found the sweet spot between Boris Johnson’s shoulder blades by identifying him as “the panto king of the Tory faithful”.

Maybe not, Eddie; Boris looks more the panto villain every day. The faithful should warn Cameron to look out – “He’s behind you!” Or should that be: “Here’s Bor-is!”?
