Cameron Offers Support to Alan Duncan
Spotted in Portcullis House yesterday lunchtime: David Cameron walking through the building with his arm around the shoulder of Alan Duncan, no doubt offering sympathy for the outrageously unfair press coverage he has been attracting in recent days. This touching scene was spotted by at least three senior lobby journalists. Was it reflected in their stories today? Was it ****!

I guess if you are going to continually turn your every appearance into a PR stunt then it's not surprising that hacks feel they are being spun a line.
Happy new year by the way. I thought the last para in your post on wednesday on the Lib Dems and Israel was well done. (I'm a bit slow off the mark this time of the year).
So there is hope after all!
I wrote in support of Alan Duncan on your last post about him, but now you have gone too far. Where is all this "unfair press coverage"? I haven't seen any. What, if anything, has been unfair?
There is a general feeling that he is erratic. Do you disagree with this? There is a general feeling that he does not take his brief seriously. That is possibly open to debate, but you are starting to turn him into a martyr, and somehow, I don't think he wants it.
Rumour has it that his job is to go to Chris Grayling. Due something if the Tories won. But currently shadowing his boss's choice, James Purnell. So out goes Duncan. Grayling is moved.
And Purnell stays put.
Entirely regardless of the outcome of the General Election.
Isn't democracy marvellous...?
