Totnes MP Anthony Steen only number 10 in Liberal Conspiracy's top ten Tory 'out of touch' gaffes

Totnes MP Anthony Steen only managed to come in at number 10 in Paul Cotterill’s Top 10 Tory ‘out of touch’ gaffes on the Liberal Conspiracy site.

The list is made up of what “10 pieces of real documentary evidence that the Tory hierarchy by virtue of their privileged upbringing, are incapable of government which takes account of ‘real people’s’ experiences”, he says.

But why only number 10 for Totnes MP Anthony Steen. ‘Because he’s not going to be an MP,’ says Paul. Pah! He’ll always be our number one… or number two at the very least!

Here’s why he’s on the Top 10 Tory ‘out of touch’ gaffes. Remember this “on his inordinate expense claims: ‘You know what it’s about? Jealousy. I have got a very, very large house. Some people say it looks like Balmoral. It’s the photographs that make it look like Balmoral, but it’s a merchant’s house from the 19th century.’”
