Yesterday David Cameron told Ed Miliband he’d be responding to the Labour leader in today’s opposition debate on BSkyB. And yet now the PM has changed his mind. He still can’t get his story straight though, and his team are briefing different hacks different lines:
Bottler Cameron excuse 1 – Duplication
Bottler Cameron excuse 2 – Time (the chunky excuse)
Bottler Cameron excuse 3 – Absurdity
Update: BBC now reporting that Cameron “may” vote in the debate later. So he was going to lead the debate, then he wasn’t, now he might not even vote in it? What on earth is going on?
