Rather like the election result, Cameron was almost, but not quite, there with his racing tips. “Midnight Fantasy” – the horse Dave tipped for those who think the Coalition will fall didn’t even manage to start at Wolverhampton earlier. On the other hand up at Ayr “Daring Dream” – the horse for those who think this government will last, came second, an each-way winner. Read into that what you will.

Still more foresight than Cable ever had.
