David Cameron IV
Dear David
Do not buckle
at the slings and arrows. One by one
they are wounding you. Just catch them.
Bundle them together. Coolly turn
them into your big bazooka.
There is only
one issue:
It’s the economy stupid.
There is only
one valid opinion poll:
May 2015
You are the
Queen’s Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury in Whitehall. I, all of us, need to respect you. You must lead.
Westminster
and St Stephen’s Green, like the poor, are always there. Get yourself a Willy.to handle them.
As Prime
Minister you have no friends, just alliances and interests, and almost no power. You have the power of persuasion, but it is
indirect. Your only direct power is the
power of appointment. It is the Prime
Minister’s bazooka. Use it.
Relieve
Jeremy Hunt of his current office. He
can then deal properly with Leveson and the Ministerial Code.
Retire Vince
“Mr Has Been” Cable. The white paper on
growth scheduled for November 2010 is now eighteen months overdue.
Appoint David
Laws as Minister for Balanced Growth.
Give him ninety days to present a plan to cabinet and to parliament.
Schedule two
weeks of Growth Debate in August. Call the Westminster claque and their “groupies”
back off holiday. To have any chance of
survival, they all need you.
Are you
worried about A vote of confidence? Tory Turkeys won’t vote for Christmas. Nick is not going to commit suicide. The Logger Eds have no money for an election
and would not want to be in government.
Six months of the 2 Eds in power now would destroy the Labour Party
forever.
Empower
competent people in Whitehall and go to it.

P.S. Keep up the good work with the Boundary
Commission and with that other real politician, Alec Salmond.
P.P.S. Think Housing. Think Level Playing Field. Think Octavia Hill. Re-read what I wrote to you on 7 October last year.
