Labour to focus on Dave?

Plenty of noteworthy snippets in this Telegraph article by James Kirkup today, among them a claim by a Labour strategist that “Voters would be disgusted if we called an election at a time when they are worried about their homes and their jobs”. Of course, that could be a deflection rather than a true indication that we won’t be seeing a snap election, but other parts of the article – that Labour are going to introduce more housing “security” measures and that they’re going to re-heat the “Tory cuts” attack – do sound believeable.

Perhaps the most important passage, though, is this:

“Labour’s research suggests voters like Mr Cameron but remain less than convinced, with many suspecting he is a “phoney.”
