Richard Corbett MEP, Labour's euro-spokesman on EU Reform in the European Parliament, today expressed his surprise at yet another Tory split on Europe.

It is only weeks since we heard about Giles Chichester, Tory MEP for the SW tarnishing EU politics - now we hear that one of the other SW Tory MEP's, Caroline Jackson, is in the spotlight.

I like Denis MacShane a lot. Politics would be better if there were more MPs like him. However, he's guilty of the most almighty whopper in his New Statesman piece today: Mainstream Tory MEPs, such as Caroline Jackson, are in despair. In the Financial Times last month, she criticised the "bad manners" of her colleagues towards sister right-wing parties in Europe - in particular Daniel Hannan, a Conservative...

It would be difficult to find a more rock-solid veteran Tory MEP than Caroline Jackson. She has been an MEP for donkeys' years. Today she writes in Conservative Home that the search for an alternative ally, other than the EPP, for the Tories to form a new group in the European Parliament, is a 'hopeless search': I, and probably most Conservative MEPs, believe that the search for "other like
