Cameron

There is some hysteria going the rounds about the failure of Tory ministers and MPs getting on to the media and making arguments in support of Cameron. It is true though that the only defence of Cameron I have heard today was that of Toby Young of the Telegraph on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 this morning. The suggestion commentators are trying to promote is is that Cameron is deeply unpopular with his own side. I think this is fanciful. For a start what Boris said was surely not meant to be disloyal but  a reprimand of Michael Crick. Boris was telling Crick to stick to the point i.e. the resignation of Yates and nothing else. If I am wrong and support for Cameron is being withheld by his party one has to wonder why. Do the Tories think that this is an opportunity to see that Cameron gets back on track with e.g. the EU, Climate Change, the NHS, Law and Order, Immigration and the like? Is it more basic than that and that they want him to go? As I said I find this fanciful and feel sure the the Tory big beasts like Hague and Osborne will come out with full supportive comments before the day is out.
