Huhne cuts Hague skinhead comment
I sent a tweet on this as soon as I heard this morning (@peter_henley if you want the most up to date info!) But it's getting some wider discussion and worth thinking about the reasons Chris Huhne left out the comment.
He was keen to hit Conservatives hard, with talk of alleged Nazi connections in the European Parliament but 1) He didn't want to get into a discussion about "hairstyles or drinking" - nice little extra dig! - and 2) The decision to cut was Chris's - not forced on him.
All rather neat and tidy. So was the release of an early draft of the speech with the comment just a publicity stunt all along?
