Kitchen sink politics

After the taunting of Ed Miliband over his two (or is it three?) kitchens, you’d have thought “Dave” Cameron would approach giving an interview in his own (only?) kitchen with extreme caution. But no, there he goes, foot in mouth, not thinking properly and lets slip that he doesn’t intend to go for a third term. The campaign chiefs in the Tory party must be having apoplexy – how did they let that happen, driving a coach and horses through their carefully constructed election strategy?

It’s supposed to be Miliband who doesn’t have what it takes to govern, not Cameron. But Cameron has always been a bit superficial, never quite focussing his mind properly on the job: the “essay crisis” Prime Minister who almost broke up the Union because he didn’t put a proper strategy in place for the Scottish referendum. Left it all to the last minute.

Does he really want to be Prime Minister? I get the feeling he finds the whole thing a bit of a bore.
