Fraser Nelson
Who are the most electorally successful post-war Tory prime ministers?
Even if the Tories won a higher share of the vote in 1945 and 1966 than they did this year, Cameron clearly achieved a better result than the eight occasions when another party won a majority (1945, 1950, 1964, 1966, Oct 1974, 1997, 2001 and 2005) or the one Hung Parliament where Labour was the largest party, in February 1974.
One in the eye for Nelson
Spectator editor Fraser Nelson has been caught out being cute with the stats in a piece immigration and employment for a right-wing mouthpiece. Again.
Foolish Fraser?
Fraser Nelson claims that Chuka Umunna is "clueless" on economics. But the Speccie editor is either "clueless" himself or being dishonest about the Budget.
