Cameron has a carte blanche on policy according to Rentoul

I like John Rentoul's analogy of David Cameron in this morning's Indy.

A Cabinet minister once described David Cameron to me as "like one of those grabber machines in a Blackpool arcade. It looks as if you should be able to pick up the soft toy, but you cannot."


But John makes a good point in his piece,arguing that the Tory leader can afford to take risks because he is almost assured of being the next PM.

Despite pulling apart his fiscal arguments,

it hardly matters. Most of the Labour Party has given up. Not because of the lack of a desire to win, but because of the lack of leadership. Brown does relentless and he does strategy, but he does not do explanation or inspiration.
