What a Bott They Got

Tory activists have been left spitting blood after the defection of the delectably named Anastasia Beaumont-Bott, the former head of the Tories LGBT movement. She claims that since Grayling's comments she has suddenly seen the Labour light, no ifs, no buts, and shared a press conference platform with David Miliband this week. If she was ever a Tory surely it was about more than gay rights? The backside of this story is a little murkier though...

Along with photos, in no way safe for work, tales of party conference hotel shenanigans, unsubstantiated smears and the fact that Bott jumped before she was thrown out on her arse, have all come out in the wash. The detail is here if you want to get to the bottom of why she really left the Tories. Her former party colleagues are clearly glad to see the back of her, some have career reasons to fear stories about her will rear up again. It was always inevitable this attention seeker would return.

If her late night not-quite-WebCameron-antics, now circulating widely, are anything to go by, she is far from camera shy...

Leaving aside the pun-filed nature of your posting for one second….this story has adequately demonstrated why I decided to research youth politics so comprehensively in the first place.

Although I am principally interested in the politics, philosophy and political activities of young conservatives, it’s the interaction between the leading characters that has made this a real joy to research.

God bless the characters of youth politics :-)
