David Cameron’s dash to Georgia at the weekend completely caught out Labour. The man with no discernable foreign policy outwitted the specialists and made Labour look slow witted by comparison. But can he live with his promises to back Georgia?

David Cameron has been forced to act to head off growing claims of hypocrisy after Labour, and subsequently The Guardian, highlighted his party’s links to Putin’s party in the Council of Europe assembly. The issue was first publicised by the Freemania blog two days ago and taken up by Labour Matters yesterday. Today however The [...]

Tory leader David Cameron talks tough on Russia. His bellicose rhetoric and his visit to a scene of war sets a dangerous precedent for a leader of the opposition. It is surely a first in ALL British history. Behind the sleazy skin deep gloss hides the beef. And its ripe for attack. The Tories sit with a quasi-fascist alliance in the Council of Europe, which does indeed include the DICTATOR of the...

The most powerful Tory in power has dismissed David Cameron’s ‘broken society‘ narrative as “piffle” today, in what will be regarded by CCHQ as a challenge to their authority. In his weekly column for the Daily Telegraph, published today, London Mayor Boris Johnson said: If you believe the British press, the youth of today is aimless, feckless [...]

Cate Gillon/Getty Images This is a couple of days old but I'm really surprised that British Conservative Party leader David Cameron hasn't gotten more flack for this idea : Russia’s elite value their ties to Europe - their shopping and their luxury weekends. We should look at the visa regime for Russian citizens. Russian armies can’t march into other countries while Russian shoppers carry on marching...

David Cameron is happy with health apartheid and asymmetric devolution - anybody who complains is a "Sour Little Englander". And now this twisted public school cretin is wittering on about mending our broken society . Of course, those who were little boys/girls in the 1980s, are banging on about what an improvement this statement is on the dread days of Thatcher. But it's all words. all crap. David...

In a book out today David Cameron has promised to cut to the chase and reform our broken society. "I'm going to be as radical a social reformer as Mrs Thatcher was an economic reformer… radical social reform is what this country needs right now." His solution is to tackle the causes of problems: "It's dealing with the issues of family breakdown, welfare dependency, failing schools, crime, and the problems...

David Cameron who recently called on the government to suspend visa access to Britain for certain Russian nationals, and the suspension of Russian membership of the G8, has failed to take the only action he actually has the power to take over Georgia. Happy to jet off to be photographed with the Georgian President, the Conservative leader remains silent about his Party's close links with the United...

David Cameron has pledged to mend our broken society. That's interesting because Margaret Thatcher claimed that "There is no such thing as society". So very clearly David Cameron is taking a different line from Thatcher, and that is no bad thing for the Tories. Margaret Thatcher, for all the good things she did (and I don't doubt she halted what seemed like terminal decline of the economy), also did...

SAYS David Cameron: “I turned down a road I don’t normally go down and I slowed down. “As this van drove by, this hand came out and just bashed me in the back with the aim of pushing me in front of the car. “Luckily I managed to put the brakes on. He gave me a hell of [...]

For his new biography, David Cameron tells author Dylan Jones: "[J]ust as Margaret Thatcher mended the broken economy in the 1980s, so we want to mend Britain’s broken society." You have to laugh, don’t you?

David Cameron has condemned Russia’s behaviour in Georgia in the most quotable terms possible: Mr Cameron has urged the international community to stand up to what he has described as Russia's "bullying" of a smaller country. "Russia has used massive and disproportionate force against an independent and sovereign democracy," he said. "This is completely unacceptable under international law and we and...
