Team Cameron will be beaming about the press coverage that the speech has garnered. The Sun pretty much endorses Cameron in a leader entitled ‘He’s ready.’ It offers him The Sun’s highest praise, declaring that his “speech could have been lifted straight from a Sun editorial.” The Mail is not quite as keen but does appear to be warming to Cameron.It concludes that “Mr Brown has an increasingly impressive rival for Number 10.”
The traditionally conservative broadsheets, yes I know but there isn’t another word for them yet, give the speech a good review too. The Times writes that “His pitch for the top job was formidable enough that it answered the one question he really posed: can you imagine me as prime minister?” While The Telegraph proclaims that the speech “was the final piece in the jigsaw.”
