Clarke needs a good fight...

I hope Michael Howard comes out and has a swipe at Ken Clarke about his prisons speech last night.

As you may have heard Clarke said there was no correlation between a rising prisons population and lower crime.

It’s not that I think Clarke is wrong necessarily, but because the Notts MP needs some sort of assault from the right of his party to be at his best.

And if it’s not one of the old dinosaurs, Howard or Tebbit, then who else is there?
