The Amazing Daniel Kawczynski Effect
Speaking of Daniel, no one has yet written about this MP’s extraordinary contribution to the recent success of the Conservatives. Daniel, as you may know, has three distinct characterisitics. His surname is almost impossible to spell, he is the tallest MP in Parliament’s history (six foot seven), and he is Polish and proud of it (though born and brought up in Britain). During Boris’s campaign, Daniel wooed the Polish community with devastating effect. Then he was despatched to Crewe, where lots of Poles settled after the war. When I spoke at his annual dinner, I said jokingly our majority would be 7,100, the number of Poles living in Crewe. It turned out to be 7,800. Spooky.

I saw Danny K on Newsnight recently, roughing up the editor and the BBC. Not sure how far he’s going to get short-term as a member of Cornerstone, but he may grow out of it.
Oh, and DK claimed to be 6′ 8.5″ on 23 May 2005, but 6′ 8″ on 17 Jan 2006.
