 New Statesman - How Ann fell out with Michael
The two managed to stay out of each other's hair until the following year, when Portillo was put in charge of the Department of Employment, where Widdecombe was minister of state.
A dispute arose between Widdecombe and her deputy, Phillip Oppenheim, over who should pilot through the House of Commons the Disability Discrimination Bill 1995, a piece of legislation that put the onus on employers to care for disabled people.
The bill had little attraction for Tories - it had earlier been withdrawn under the tutelage of the hapless Nicholas Scott - and when Widdecombe pushed Oppenheim into taking on the job, he protested to Portillo, arguing that Widdecombe "was touchy-feely and a woman".

And this singular man who stood up against 'governmental interference' won an overwhelming majority of votes and thrashed the sitting New Labour MP!
As Phillip Oppenheim (an ex-Tory MP from many moons ago) has recently pointed out on several occasions, it is crucial that the Tories get across to the public that they stand for reducing government and for handing back more powers, and more money, to the people themselves.
For example, it still hasn't got across to the majority of the public that the Tories' opposition to joining the single European currency has got absolutely nothing to do with xenophobia and everything to do with retaining the powers to govern one's own nation.
