"Under your leadership the Conservative Party appears to me to have ceased collectively to believe in anything, or to stand for anything. It has no bedrock. It exists on shifting sands. A sense of mission has been replaced by a PR agenda."
"The last year has been a series of shocks and disappointments. You have displayed to the full both the vacuity and the cynicism of your favourite slogan 'change to win.'"
"It is fair to say that you have so far made a shambles of your foreign policy, and that would be a great handicap to you - and, more seriously, to the country - if you ever came to power."
"PR pressures had overridden any considerations of economic rationality or national interest, or even what would have been to others normal businesslike prudence...You thus sometimes treat important subjects with the utmost frivolity."
"Although you have many positive qualities you have three, superficiality, unreliability and an apparent lack of any clear convictions, which in my view ought to exclude you from the position of national leadership to which you aspire."
"I am looking forward to joining another party...which has just acquired a leader I have always greatly admired, who I believe is entirely straightforward, and who has a towering record, and a clear vision for the future of our country."

Paul you claimed that Quentin Davies' resignation letter was 'demonstrably true'.
Yep, could agree with most of that, when he refers to Cameron, but either I have misunderstood what Davies intends next, or he (and you) are off in the land of the fairies.
You quote Davies as writing: "I am looking forward to joining another party...which has just acquired a leader I have always greatly admired, who I believe is entirely straightforward".
This refers to Gordon Brown, right? The same Gordon Brown who lied about his knowledge of the Bernie Ecclestone's donation to Nu Lab; spins every Budget and autumn spending statement; and bullies over 300 Labour MPs into signing his nomination.
Yes definitely "entirely straightforward", just like Joe Stalin.
Since you ask, Bryan, yes, I do believe Gordon Brown is entirely straightforward, and that attempts to link him with "New Labour Sleaze" will fail. I'll be saying more about this later today.
do you think QD wrote the letter himself? it reads like it came straight from a labour party press release.
as a former tory -now UKIP-don't groan.I share many of those sentiments.Except for the last one
