A side-note on Sayeeda Warsi’s resignation has been Tory jitters over the electoral impact of their weak Gaza stance. The Times (£) quotes an anonymous minister:

“Cameron has just blown us the election”

This will lose us nearly all our ethnic support in the north and in seats like Luton.”

But there’s no need to worry, according to David Cameron’s controversial Australian election guru:

“Lynton says there are hardly any of our marginal seats where the Muslim vote will be a decisive factor”

Or to put it another way:

Mr Crosby said [his client for the 2012 London mayoral elections] Mr Johnson should concentrate on traditional Tory voters instead of ‘f**king Muslims’

What a charming fellow he is.
