The perception that this was a political ingenue, a gutsy small business owner fighting against state profligacy has just been promoted on Radio 4's Today programme by Michael Heseltine who had obviously harmonised his line with CCHQ. (This line has been in evidence on sky news feeds to local & independent national radio stations up and down the country.) <br />Shirley Williams, who was in debate with him, obviously had no idea what had been going on - a reflection I fear of the overwhelming majority of the 5 million viewers who saw the programme.<br />Labour have been inexcusably slow to point out that there seem to have been at least two Conservative supporters declaring themselves as undecided or disinterested when they were anything but.

It used to be that when people were asked to think of a Yorkshireman it would be someone like Jake Thackray they'd come up with; now it's Eric Pickles.
