A source within the County Council tells me that David Cameron either has or is expected to soon get in touch with Cllr Cutts to "express his displeasure" at the damage she is clearly inflicting on the Conservative Party and their chances of winning at least two target seats in Nottinghamshire. I understand that areas of particular concern are where Vogon Tory policy differs from UK Tory policy and he sees the proposed cuts and increases in councillors expenses as providing the opposition with an "open goal".
My source in Westminster confirms this is the case. He has heard several whispers around the corridors that relationships between Conservative Central Office and Nottinghamshire are reaching an all time low. David Cameron is particularly embarrased as he said at conference "If you want to know what a Conservative Government will be like just look at our Conservative Councils". For once a Tory politician was speaking the truth!
I understand that Ms Cutts has called a meeting of all Nottinghamshire MPs next Friday. The two County Conservative MPs will not be attending.
