Just in from the Press Association:
“I, of course, apologise for any actions or omissions on my part which contributed to the problems encountered in the Scottish elections…”
A sign of the underlying weakness of his position.
When in trouble apologise and try to move the story on. Rule 3 from the Blair/Mandelson/Campbell Media Play Book.
UPDATE : The Lobby today asked the PMS again “if the Prime Minister had full confidence in Douglas Alexander”. This is the formula the Lobby uses when they mean “is the PM going to sack ‘im”. Two days in a row, not a good sign…
