The Daily Mail’s Ben Brogan followed up Guido’s story about the Tory poster committing them to a referendum on the constitution EU Reform Treaty whenever the Tories get into power.

The poster says “A vote on the European constitution” is “now delayed until the election of a Conservative government”. Pretty clear. Yet Dave’s office told Brogan “The point the poster is making is that if there had been an election today and if the Conservatives had been elected we would have had a referendum”.

Well it is coming up to panto season, so all together: “Oh no it doesn’t!”
