This is bad news for anyone who finally wants to see an effective opposition to Blair's autocratic cabal. There's no doubt Boris Johnson raised the party's profile in spite (or perhaps even because) of his gaffes, and Howard is making a big mistake by sacking one of his most high profile members.
And it's like (Ex-)Tory said - for what?! A bunch of rumours? I agree, it's fairly obvious Howard was just looking for an excuse after the Bigley fiasco. I have a feeling the Tories are desperately trying not to rattle too many cages, hence the overreaction over the Spectator article (which I found in bad taste myself, but that doesn't change the fact that the general reaction to it was bordering on hysteria).
