Danny Kruger did a D.Phil on Burke, is a fellow at the Legatum Institute, and is one of the more interesting Tory intellects of our time. He is a devout Evangelical. One might almost describe him as a muscular Christian, but not in the sense of Dr Arnold's disciples. Danny uses a muscular mind to integrate Christianity and free markets.

He used to work for David Cameron, and could have been a speech-writer in No.10. To his friends' incredulity and admiration, he preferred to do social work in West London.

Earlier on, when four Old Etonians were on his team, David insisted that he had no OEs on his staff. 'George [now Lord] Bridges: he has permanent secretary written all over him. He must be a Wykehamist. Eddie [Llewellyn, now Lord Llewellyn, Ambassador to France]: he can't have been at Eton - he's too short. He'd have had to wear a bum-freezer [a cutaway coat to which short boys were condemned] throughout his time at school. He'd have died of embarrassment and chilblains in his second Eton winter. Danny and Oliver [Letwin]: they are good men. Did you ever meet an Etonian like that? They must have been somewhere else.'

Danny is and will remain at the forefront of political and intellectual debate.
