Harry Palmer to the rescue
David Cameron has taken the logic of unseen Tory politicians to its natural conclusion - he's appointed a former spy, Andrew Fulton, as chairman of the party in Scotland:
Last year, Mr Fulton, who lives in Glasgow, became the first former spy to join a listed British company when he was appointed as an adviser to the Armor Group, a firm that provides security services to national governments. He has several other advisory and non-executive roles with international organisations, and he is also chairman of the Scottish North American Business Council.
Listed in Who's Who as a diplomat, the father of three spent most of his career with MI6, serving in Saigon, Rome, East Berlin, New York and Washington.
