Is their nerve cracking?
One of the more loyal Conservative journalists, Matthew d'Ancona, is damning in his criticism of Michael Howard's tactics today in the Sunday Telegraph. Read it all, as these excerpts don't convey the full sense of despair.Can we have the real Michael Howard back please? ...
...On tax-and-spend the agile dynamism of the Letwin-Osborn strategy is eclipsed every time the focus returns to immigration.
People sense these forces and made anxious by them. How could it be otherwise? But that does not mean the politicians have a duty simply to parro those anxieties, to take their script from the doorstep...sometimes their duty lies in doing precisely the opposite. In this case the Tories face a choice between presenting themselves as prospective governors in the modern world, or as refugees from it.
...It is not too late for Michael Howard to put judgement first
