Timothy Kirkhope MEP expelled from Conservative Party

The BBC reports that Timothy Kirkhope MEP has been expelled from the Conservative Party. He was suspended in July after he stood as a candidate for European Parliament Vice-President against the official candidate of the European Conservatives and Reformists grouping. He said he was "shocked" at the decision to expel him and described it as "vengeful and fruitless", adding that he would appeal against it. He also said that, "David Cameron has been exploited by those in his party who want Britain to leave Europe: I want Britain to lead in Europe."

Think they might have been talking about MacMillan-Scott.

Fail.
