Perhaps Tim missed this.

Tim Montgomerie used to be the editor of ConservativeHome, the Tory blog.

So you’d think he would have kept his finger on the pulse of current affairs a bit better, wouldn’t you?

Here he is being put straight by the ever-sharp Paul Bernal:

That’s right – and for once it was a promise that was in the Tory manifesto in 2019.

The trouble with people like Tim is they’re so entitled they don’t ever think these laws will be applied to them.

If a new lockdown happens, of course, it won’t arise from a manifesto promise; it will be a feeble attempt by Johnson to save his political bacon.

So Mr Montgomerie may be entirely justified in protesting.

He just won’t be allowed to – by a change in the law that he merrily cheerled.

Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
