Ian Duncan Smith plays Liverpool.
There are many old rock bands still touring and earning a living by performing all over the country. There is an old tory leader who has started a talking tour. The rock bands play to good audiences whilst Ian Duncan Smith probally talked to 67 - most of them journalists. That is not a lot of money in ticket sales at £12 a head - some were free. It was earlier reported in the diary column that Ian Duncan Smith would earn £4,000 for this talk and £3,000 if it was cancelled. He was on to very good money for such an unpopular act. Now he knows not to go into politics in a big way as he is unattractive to the public. It is a shame it took him so long to find out, probally because of the back slappers at Conservative Central Office. It would have been better for him and the country if there had been a "Political Idol" TV series!
