Tim Yeo finally follows his own advice

Only two months and fifteen days after he declared that there were too many candidates for the Conservative leaderhsip, Tim Yeo has now followed his own advice and reduced the number in the field. Whilst I cannot fault his decision to back Kenneth Clarke, who everyday seems to defy critics who've written him off, I hope that whoever is elected leader will remember Yeo's advice and inaction when it comes to forming the Shadow Cabinet.
