Hit and Run

Fraser Nelson 5:01pm

Cameron has just given the speech of his life, and celebrated by wasting no time getting out of Blackpool. Like me, he took a cab out of the conference straight after the speech and headed for Preston. He's standing on platform six, smiling broadly, with Sam beside him. His aides are huddled ten feet away, giving him space. He's just pulled this off, and I suspect he knows it.

Fraser,

A good performance, for sure. Please clarify: what do you think he has pulled off?

* A unified party in good morale for a battle?

* A poll bounce which will postpone the reckoning?

* A reduced Brown majority?

* A Tory government?

Good man not getting the Blackpool to Preston train. It's awful. It seems there is a limit to how "green" he must be seen to appear.
