Is sunshine the best disinfectant?
James Forsyth 1:47pm
Anne McElvoy’s piece in the Standard today on the Cameron-Osborne relationship makes the following claim:
“As their differences are in the open, they do not fester.”
It is tempting to agree that sunshine is the best disinfectant. But I wonder how the press would have reacted to Osborne publicly drawing distinctions with Cameron and taking a thinly-veiled slap at Cameron’s jejune approach to Iraq as he did in The Guardian on Monday, if the Tories were not close to twenty points ahead in the polls?
PS Those interested in the Cameron-Osborne relationship should make sure to read Tamzin tomorrow.
