Cameron impresses in Newsnight grilling

8:15pm

You can watch the Newsnight special with David Cameron here. In it, Cameron confirms Fraser’s earlier report that the Tories will not, thankfully, be stopping all airport expansion.

Cameron put in a fairly strong performance. He handled Stephanie Flanders line of questions about whether he felt that she, an unwed mother, should get married or not particularly well. He also did a good job of emphasising that there is nothing inconsistent with modernisation in being tough on crime. Tim Montgomerie has thoughts and analysis here.

I shouldn't think many people have doubted Cameron's capability as a speaker (the conference speech set the benchmark), but he hasn't yet marshalled his resources in as an effective manner as New Labour. Just to move off-topic slightly, is it me or have Brown's TV appearances inexplicably dropped off since the foot and mouth outbreak?
