TEARFUL CAMERON

"Mr Cameron is, in this sense, a stealthy leader, as Tony Blair once was; he never gives the other side an issue to exploit. The Cameron Opposition is becoming increasingly enjoyable to watch.

He is cutting the mustard and it is splashed across Tony Blair’s face." - William Rees-Mogg in The Times
