From Tuesdays Daily Telegraph Its never a good idea to look backstage. Those mesmerised by the spectacle of the theatre risk disappointment if they sneak a glimpse behind the curtain. In the dark, beyond the lights, all is dusty, held together by ropes and rubber bands, with the fairy-tale princesses smoking, swearing and playing poker. [...]David Cameron’s personal message to Conservative Party members in full

This evening, David Cameron has emailed all Tory members. Theres no doubt that its a veiled response to the loonygate affair of the weekend. Its one of those non-denial denials. Key line? I would never have around me those who sneered or thought otherwise. Here is the email in full: Dear XXXXXXX, After the news [...]Evening Briefing: Ed Miliband, marriage counsellor

The following is from our new briefing email, available to anyone who wants it. Just email james.kirkup@telegraph.co.uk to be added to our mailing list. Hello, and welcome to Evening Briefing from Telegraph Politics. What is this email, and why should you read it? The idea is a simple one: this is Westminsters day, digested. What [...]Headteachers were once stern and authoritative. Now they’re blubbering wrecks who complain about being ‘bullied’ by nasty Gove

What has gone wrong with headteachers? My old head was a nun so severe she could reduce you to a puddle of pitiful inadequacy with one withering look. Her office was always full of girls scrubbing make-up from their faces with dry paper towels. My Doctor Marten boots sat in that office for months (apparently [...]The pro-EU campaign is reduced to dressing up Eurocrats as businessmen

There are very few pro-EU industrialists left in Britain. That is the only inference we can fairly draw from the letter in todays Independent, signed by some hoary-headed Euro-grandees hilariously described by that newspaper as eminent businessmen In fact, many of the signatories are career civil servants and Brussels officials who happen, in retirement, to [...]Ed Miliband’s gay marriage lifeline for Cameron is good politics – but most importantly, it’s the right thing to do

Credit where its due. Ed Miliband seems to have found a clever way of throwing David Cameron a lifeline on gay marriage, while at the same time letting Ed legitimately claim that hes stuck to his principles on civil partnerships. Labour has announced its tabling its own amendment to the same-sex marriage bill, one that [...]Two modest proposals from a swivel-eyed loon

Loon, or boon? There have been different times since 1985 (when I joined North Cunninghame Young Conservatives) when Ive felt like both: a loon, when the party goes into one of its spasms of unelectability (why bother? is the dominant feeling at times such as this); boon when Ive delivered leaflets for a good Tory [...]Revealed: how David Cameron and his Bullingdon chums will win the next general election
from Peter Wedderburn's blog listings.

One thing about Loongate, or Swivelgate or ThePoorManAtHisGate, as the more astute political observers have dubbed it is how it reveals the bold and ambitious two-pronged plan, adopted by Cameron and his team, to win the general election in 2015. The first part of the masterplan centred on the Tory party in Parliament [...]
