An interesting story in Saturday's FT suggests the the Conservatives current slavish support of the Government's policy on Iraq might be coming to an end. It indicated that many Conservatives in the country have expressed disquiet at the policy of being more pro-war than the PM and such disquiet has reached Cabinet level. I think this could be of major importance for Tories -- it would differentiate them from Labour on a point of principle and give them a clear moral edge on a major aspect of policy.
