Should David Cameron be more angry about Labour failures and failings?

I thought David Cameron performed extremely well at Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions. He was clearly so outraged at the suggestion from heckling Labour MPs that the military chiefs questioning and criticising Gordon Brown were "all Tories" that he deviated from his planned questions to demand that Brown disown his colleagues (which of course he did not).

It was a fine example of Cameron's ability to think and act on his feet (which bodes well for the TV debates) and I was delighted to see him getting really angry when there was every reason to be.

In case you missed the exchanges in the chamber on Wednesday, watch them again here: 

We also saw the Tory leader in angry mode - albeit in a pre-planned speech - at the party conference last year when he railed at how Labour have failed the poorest in society. Watch that moment again here.

I would like to see some more of this in the run-up to the general election. I am sure that David Cameron's advisers would be alarmed at the thought of him becoming a Mr Angry figure - and I am not suggesting for a moment that it should be the main, let alone only, tone in his repertoire.

However, there is lots for Conservatives to be angry about in terms of this Government's failures, failings, lies and hypocrisy and I think it would do the Conservative Party no harm - indeed I think it would be a positive thing - for the electorate to see that articulated a bit more by David Cameron over the coming weeks.
