I always figured DD was politically just slightly to the right of Benito Mussolini. The sort of bloke who listens to Andrew Lloyd Webber and would bring back the birch for not having a straight parting and a clean handkerchief in your pocket .

Or does he just want to kick Cameron in the goolies for winning the party leadership?

Both noble aims.......
