All about timing and delivery

Great timing by Dave with his environmental proposal today.  After the Heathrow announcement yesterday, talk of a greener national infrastructure by the Tory leader is sure to irk a few Labour MPs, and could set the political dividing lines in his party’s favour.  What’s more, the Tory policy idea – a £1 billion “investment” in what would apparently be a smarter, cleaner, more efficent National Grid – sounds like something that even the envirosceptics can sign up to; depending, of course, on where that £1 billion comes from.

Marks also have to be given for delivery.  Today’s announcement is set to be the UK’s first online policy launch – and viewers will be able to fire questions at Cameron.  Conservative Home have more details here, along with a copy of the chat/video platform the Tories will be using.  It all looks pretty nifty – but that doesn’t mean it work effectively come 1330.  Might be worth tuning in to find out.
