Measuring up the campaign teams

My apologies to George Osborne. Daniel Finkelstein’s blog points out that young Gideon does have election experience from his days in the 2001 campaign, not none as I unkindly said.

But perhaps the Tories can buy in expertise from outside? I hear Lynton Crosby is in town tonight. Maybe he’s for hire again….
