Within the space of 60 seconds, three Tory MPs have tweeted almost word-for-word identical defences of under-fire Lord Feldman. Almost as if they were co-ordinated…

UPDATE: And another two!

I accept we are talking about tragic events but needs also to be said that Andrew Feldman is decent compassionate person. Support him

Seems that colleagues (inc me) are increasingly supportive of Party Chairman Andrew Feldman and rightly resisting calls to sack him.

Could CCHQ be any more transparent?

UPDATE II: And still they come…

Always had great respect for Andrew Feldman: a decent, capable & public spirited Chairman. Hope he remains and drives change in culture.

My experience of working with Lord Feldman has been a positive one. He has always been a huge support to me as a candidate and now as a MP.

Calling for Feldman's resignations is wrong. Let's find out what actually happened and how we protect young activists in the future.
