Remember this cringeworthy effort from a few weeks ago? Well now Dave has slipped back into his Team GB tracksuit for another casual photo op (via @channel4news) :

    “I know rolling up my shirtsleeves didnt work, but I’m sure wearing a tracksuit will make people see me as a regular guy…”

    Cameron (thinks):  ’I'm wearing a shirt with a union jack on it, ‘cos that’s the sort of meaningless chav type type thing plebs like these are impressed by.’

    Only I’m sure these paralympians and their coaches aren’t at all impressed with Cameron in his Olympic sportswear.  It’s the disabled who are among the worst hit by this government’s cruelty and incompetence, and Atos’s sponsorship of the event is just taking the proverbial.
    This scenario reminds me of a clip of Cameron talking to some supermarket workers, where he’s most anxious to surreptiously display the England football wristband he’s wearing.  He’s got a quite disturbingly devious look in his eyes when he clumsily tries to ever so casually display his ‘patriotic’ wristband.

    Is anyone else old enough to remember the novelty single from BA Robertson:

    Knocked it off,
    you know I knocked it off
    While I was sitting in the corner with my tracksuit off….

    An unpleasant image (not least because it harks back to that Jonathan Ross interview) but not a completely inappropriate one.

    • aracataca

      Urgh!  ’Unpleasant image’ – you’re not kidding! 

      I remember that interview.  Not normally a fan of Wossy, but it was quite amusing to see Cameron’s attempt at selling himself as a trendy, detoxified Tory (it was about 2007 I think) be so thoroughly scuppered by Ross ripping the piss out of him.  Cameron may not have pleasured himself to pix of Maggie, but I wouldn’t put it past Osbo.  <<<<>>>>>>

    Becoming a Living Wage City – an ambition worth having

    By Ian Stewart

    A cleaner met me on the corridor the other day as I was leaving the office and gave me a huge hug. “Thank you, City Mayor,” she told me “that’s been the best news for years.” After I had recovered from my embarrassment, I realised what she was talking about. Salford had just introduced the full Living Wage – becoming the first local authority in Greater Manchester to implement a full Living Wage of £7.45 for every member of staff [...]

    Planning the revolution – Labour and the Spending Review

    By David Robinson

    In four weeks time the Chancellor will announce the results of the 2015 spending Review. There won’t be many winners but some will have lost more than others. Political commentators and discussion forums will pass judgement and public sector managers will, yet again, pick through the debris, making do and mending from what ever they can salvage. Before we get overtaken by the detail we should reflect on the bigger picture. What ever the chancellor says on June 26th it [...]

    A call for action at the G8

    By Ivan Lewis

    In less than a month’s time, the UK hosts the G8 Summit. With hunger, tax, trade and transparency all on the agenda, the UK has a unique opportunity to show global leadership on these issues. The scale of hunger is devastating. There is enough food in the world for everyone, yet 1 billion people still go hungry. 2.3 million children every year die from malnutrition – to put that in perspective, that is around 16,000 children every day. Or one [...]

    A Northern Tory that Labour should be afraid of

    By Mark Ferguson

    The Labour Party spends a great deal of time beating itself up over its performance in Southern England. We know it simply isn’t good enough, but we can’t seem to put our finger on why exactly that’s the case. Is it demographics? No. Culture? Perhaps. Lack of basic party organisation in some areas? It’s certainly a factor. But whilst we’re flagellating ourselves over our inability to perform south of the Watford gap (outside of London), we should remember that the [...]
