They were talking not of David Cameron nor of the Labour cabinet member both speaking today but of Vince Cable. At ten o'clock I made my way to the tearoom and struck up a conversation in the queue with an officer from...

David Cameron is the man who wishes he was British Prime Minister Gordon Brown — but isn't. Cameron is instead the lead of the opposition Conservative Party, who may or may not be in bed with homophobes. But one thing Cameron is?
