I think he staggered it didn't he? Not sure, but can I claim to be half-right in my prediction that Mr. Darling kind-of postponed the petrol duty rise? I think he staggered it didn’t he?

A few months ago the Tories were home and dry by a mile. The sheer possibility that it could be remotely close is remarkable and maybe why Cameron is getting the 'wobbles'. And he definately is. Just saw him make some stupid reference to a 'Harry Potter' character ( Volder..something!?) in reference to Alistair Darling during his rather ranting budget reply. If he's not careful he could be quoting from another famous film character in 6 weeks time and be saying, 'I'll be back!!?' It’s interesting. A few months ago the Tories were home and dry by a mile.

YouGov gives Labour 26 more seats than the Tories and 25 sort of an overall majority, MORI gives Labour 17 more seats than the Tories and Labour short by 17. Why does everyone still headline such polls TORY LEAD ... when the Tories have no lead at all where it counts - in seats.

It's got nothing at all to do with what subject the interview was about but the conduct/ performance of someone who could be performing as this countries PM on the world stage. If he loses it in a relatively minor interview ( no offense to the 'Gay times'.) then do we really want him representing this country in potentially hard-ball tough negotiations if he's likely to crack-up!? It's no good saying it was just one interview - he lost the plot - A PM can't afford that luxury? Re: Cameron’s ‘gay times’ interview.

I hope it's a game changer ;-) @Roland - Anthony has a new thread -the figures are there. Sue
