"I have written extensively on Europe, so I won’t repeat it all. But the fact remains that we’re handing new powers to Brussels faster than Labour did before us. We’ve failed to make a stand at any point. And now we have the effrontery to bring forward this “Sovereignty Bill”, which is no more than pathetic window dressing. We whipped Conservative MPs to oppose an amendment that did no more than reassert the sovereignty of parliament. What were we thinking of? We’re not fit to call ourselves Conservatives."

We say: True 'small c' conservatives do not vote Conservative. They vote UKIP.
Update:
Meanwhile, Lord Tebbit - who describes the Oldham by-election as "a dreadful night for the Conservatives" - has this to say about UKIP:
"Oldham is not UKIP territory, but it can be pleased to have increased its vote and put the BNP into fifth place. If the Tory leadership fails to support its own candidate in future, UKIP is set to prosper."
