Eric Pickles: The second War Room Briefing

The next excellent video from Eric Pickles:

Eric Pickles' - War room briefing No 1

I received a Conservative bulletin from Eric Pickles a while ago. Eric was letting us know about a new series of "war room briefings". Basically it's an inside view of Tory preparations for upcoming elections. Here is the first war room briefing:

Question Time 29th May - Hoon in a Pickle?

Question Time tonight has all the makings of a great show. Tory hero of the moment Eric Pickles will be locking horns with Labour Chief Whip Geoff Hoon. Eric has a fantastically smooth and persuasive approach to most arguments (I've heard rumour that he has sold fur hats to some Greenpeace officials heading off to Africa) and any attacks on the Tories from Hoon will seem like Jack Russel yapping at a Lion. Eric seems to live in the eye of a storm.

The rest of the panel includes the Green Party member of the European parliament for the South East of England Caroline Lucas (no doubt she will wind me up) the historian and broadcaster Dan Snow (son of Peter) and the director of Global Vision Ruth Lea.

Tonight's show is from Lincoln and will be shown on BBC One at 22:35.

Be there or be Albert.

Eric Pickles on the Andrew Marr show. We are not worthy.

Eric Pickles reviewed the papers this morning on the Andrew Marr show. Eric should be the face of Conservatism more often. He is definitely the star Tory of the moment, always seeming to have his finger on the pulse and with a good feel for public mood. You can't help liking our Eric.
