Because everyone agrees the Prime Minister is a dunce, a dud, a likeable duffer, a note of caution might be useful. Annoying as it might be, false as it may prove, he is for the moment holding his own in PMQs. Even his defence of his ‘Cones Hotline’ politics looked good enough, albeit with the sound off. When he shows a flash of temperament, of what may be conviction, he comes off as despatch box material. The National Care Service may never come into being and will bankrupt the country if it does, but for now, as a first impression and a founding principle, it certainly beats the abolition of the Winter Fuel Allowance.
As the opponents are still circling each other, the question for Kemi is how to better him, how to best him.
