Douglas Alexander admits Cameron is asking some of the right questions
1:45pm
In a Guardian interview this morning, Douglas Alexander let something interesting slip. Amidst the usual rubbishing of the opposition, Alexander says this about David Cameron: “Over the past 18 months he raised a lot of expectation by asking a lot of questions that people in Britain are asking, but in the past few weeks he has disappointed by failing to answer those questions with credible policies."
What’s interesting about this is that Alexander is essentially admitting that Labour is vulnerable on various issues. The challenge for the Tories is to come up with the kind of policies that can capitalise on these weaknesses. If they can do that, Labour might find itself on the back foot.

If the Conservatives were children I would pity them. But they are adults. They have chosen this political pigmy as a leader. And this interminable moaning about what he said, what he did not say, what he asked or not is just making the British Conservatives look sily and inefectual. The pigmy Cameron and his choosers have ensured the demise of the Conservative party.
