Patrick Mercer, Top Tory
I don’t think I have ever heard of Patrick Mercer, though the headline tells me he is a “Top Tory”. I wonder how many other Top Tories there are, of whom I have similarly never heard.
(On the other hand, I do know who Tim Collins CBE x-MP is, and have done for a while.)
Back in the days of the Hague leadership, someone did a poll to establish name recognition of senior Shadow Cabinet figures, and Francis Maude scored a perfect zero.
He was Shadow Foreign Secretary at the time. Not that you’d remember.
