The new face of Toryism: the old, old face of pop

Callmedave Cameron's attempts to inject some celebrity sparkle into the new-look Conservative party have been sticky, to say the least: for some reason, attempts to parachute Adam Rickett into a safe parliamentary seat have met with resistance. Presumably Ricko's dodgy pop career and habit of removing his clothes for photoshoots were a stumbling block.

Good news for Cameron, though, as Private Eye reports that Brighton & Hove tories have elected to give David van Day a try at being a councillor. It's not like David has got a dodgy track record of taking his clothes off to try and push substandard pop si... oh, hang on.
