David Cameron moved to repair relations with a bruised Conservative party by emailing a "personal note" to all members in which he said he would never work with anyone who "sneered" at activists.

Amid anger in the party at the allegations that a senior member of his inner circle had referred to activists as "mad swivel-eyed loons", the prime minister said the party was held together by "a deep and lasting friendship".

Cameron reached out after senior Tories, who were enraged by allegations that the Tory co-chairman Lord Feldman had made disparaging remarks about Tory activists, warned of a sea change in the parliamentary party as growing numbers of MPs decide that the prime minister is becoming a liability. Feldman strenuously denied the allegations which he described as "completely untrue".

Can you imagine any Republican official having the courage to say that about the Tea Party?

1. Easily

I doubt Boner would be as well spoken, but I am sure the same basic sentiment comes out of his mouth, and most of the republican leaderships, in private situations, fairly often.

I can also just as easily imagine it never being reported, and noone ever being upset about it, except a few wacked out tea party types who would blame it on democrats for repeating it, and then having it carrried on to Fox News where it would somehow become an Obama Scandal.

2. It looks like they will not get a second term in the end.

3. Cameron's rape of the commons, combined with the rise of UKIP will spell the Tories demise.
