Adam Rickitt, lesser known as the ex Coronation Street actor, and most recently famous for being one of Cameron's A list Tory candidates was ( according to a high standard weekly journal) recently caught shoplifting cheese, HP sauce and coffee in New Zealand. His excuse for such actions?- stress. No witty political response, or a remark about missing home, nothing at all. I guess the shoplifting of HP sauce was an ironic gesture, and definitely the closest he will ever get to the London corridors of power at this rate! I wonder what Cameron thinks about this?
In other news, tonight's polls show that the Tories are catching up with Labour. ICM polls today show Labour at 38% (-1) and the Conservatives at 38%(up 5) .It's neck and neck. So the question is, will Gordon be brave enough to go for it now that the Tories are sneaking up the opinion polls? It may be that the Conference has provided a bounce towards Cameron and that this could wane, but will he suffer that severly in the environment of a snap election?
Only Gordon Brown knows how he will act, and what decision he will ultimately make. I think he's missed the hour, personally, but if he doesn't go now, it may be a hard few years ahead for the Blair successor.
