It is no secret that the Conservative MEP Dan Hannan does not much like his colleague Tim Kirkhope and Tim Kirkhope does not much like Dan Hannan.
One is a better off out man and Timothy is not. They have disagreed for years.
Kirkhope was consequently no slouch in rushing to the World @ One radio studio to attack Dan Hannan's NHS interview. Mr Hannan will be called in to the Tory Whip he said.
Kirkhope added that it was wrong for Hannan to have talked about the NHS because the European Parliament does not have a role in healthcare.
Where does this new Kirkhope rule end?
Are MPs forbidden to talk about issues that have been surrendered to Europe? That won't leave them with much to say.
