David Cameron

David Cameron is claiming the Conservative Party’s inquiry into the Tory bullying scandal is “independent”:

“There is an independent lawyer from Clifford Chance, who will oversee that process and make sure that it reaches clear conclusions from the evidence that comes through.”

But if Clifford Chance is so independent of the Tories – how come the law firm has been dishing out cash for members of the party’s influential 1922 Committee to party at the prestigious and VERY expensive Marco Pierre White Rooftop Restaurant?

From Lord Ashcroft’s Party Conference Diary:

“How to win the majority we want will be a major theme for Conservative Home’s conference events – not least this evening’s joint party with the 1922 Committee, generously sponsored by Clifford Chance, at the Marco Pierre White Rooftop Restaurant”

So not actually all that independent then…
