In a staggering admission on his blog site today Tory Iain Dale openly exposes David Cameron's failure as Leader of the Conservative Party. Leave aside whatever bias you may think Iain places on his interpretation of Gordon Brown's response to a journalist's question at the PM's Press Conference... just think about what Dale is effectively saying about his own Leader's capabilities, not to mention Ozzy Osborne's failure during his period as Brown's Treasury Shadow.
I have rarely seen Brown so rattled. David Cameron should challenge him every week to debate with him live on TV.
So, there you have it. David Cameron apparently cannot lay a finger on Gordon Brown, but in a press conference according to Dale, a journalist can do so with a single barbed question. What does that tell you about Cameron's inability to lead Her Majesty's opposition. It is widely known that Dale was David Davis' campaign manager during his failed leadership bid, but for him to undermine the Party leader in this way really does smack of the most appalling disloyalty.
Iain Dale a disloyal Tory supporter? Now, that's an interesting thought. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That he could be getting ready to defect to Labour, the LibDems or UKIP?

The NHS is a disater???? (huh!)
