My old stamping ground, the Tory Reform Group, has a new blog, so I thought I would post one final thought on the old one, before disappearing altogether. Ken Clarke is once again making waves with his honest assessments of the political scene, and is also under regular attack from his right-wing opponents, so I thought it only proper to provide a defence - a somewhat limited one, but it is with specific reference to the accusations that he persistently undermines Tory leaders.

Are you saying that you are departing from the TRG blogosphere, or just that the old blog is disappearing?
Just me departing the TRG blogosphere - I think the old blog will stay as an archive! And this one will, of course, continue its sparkling, witty and insightful course!
Can't help but feel like this is the end of an era! Why have you quit it?
a bit of a clarification - the old TRG blog is finished, but I may contribute pieces to the new one, Egremont.
