THIS is not the first time the Tories have cynically sought to utilise militant loyalism to try to strengthen their own negotiating hand.
As Labour MP Dawn Butler has bravely highlighted, telling the truth does not come naturally to Boris Johnson, but it is the best way to ensure that past mistakes are not repeated.
