David Cameron: I’m cheap, lurching to the left and not sensible

At the weekend David Cameron said, “we could see bonuses being paid out for a second year to executives in taxpayer owned banks which is unacceptable” [Conservative Party website].

But the thing is, he thinks that this sort of stance is cheap: “What you won’t hear from me is easy cheap lines bashing financiers” [Evening Standard, 28 September 2008].

He also thinks it is a “lurch to the left” [PMQs, House of Commons, 21 February 2007, on calls for curbs to city bonuses].

And he thinks criticising bonuses is “Not sensible, not sensible at all” [Sky News, 26th September 2008].

Glad that’s all cleared up.
