Over at my other home the Spectator, four writers have been trying to fathom what David Cameron’s big idea is. They have about as much chance as if they’d gone looking for the G Spot.
“You wait till he gets elected. Then you’ll see what a proper Conservative he is,” say all the Kool-Aid drinkers who [...]

The problem with Dave Cameron (No.203)
Saturday, January 9th, 2010The Spectator’s editor agrees: the only way out of this ghastly Euro fudge is OUT
Friday, November 6th, 2009I never tire of reading Fraser Nelson’s political analysis. Not because he’s my new editor at the Spectator and I feel I ought to suck up to him but because, like me, he’s right about everything.

Frank Field for prime minister
Monday, September 14th, 2009Frank Field’s piece in today’s Telegraph about the difficulties facing the next British government is well worth reading.
