The Evening Standard's Paul Waugh has spotted this gem in Cameron's speech on the economic crisis today: "It is not enough for Government to get out of the way – they’ve got to get involved." Make up your mind Dave! Do you want Government involved or not? I suppose this is what happens when an entrenched old dogma such as fanatical anti-statism slams into the buffers of reality.

Whoever wrote that line needs firing if it was a speech-writer, or a good night's rest if it was Cameron. Problem is that our leaders aren't up to snuff on economics and this black hole that came barreling down on them has left them all a bit bereft of co-ordinated speech.

I believe it's called "appealing to both wings of the party".
