Cameron “totally unable to cope with dissenting voices” says ex-adviser

A former member of David Cameron’s Business Advisory Group has taken Cameron’s handling of the group – in particular the removal of some members – rather badly, telling Sky News:

“The whole process has been abysmally handled. It has been shabby and has fomented a negative attitude to Cameron and suggests that he is totally unable to cope with dissenting voices.”

Remarkably, despite the removal of several business leaders, David Cameron has kept Google Chief Exec Eric Schmidt on the panel – even though he said earlier this week he was “proud” of Google’s tax avoidance schemes.

Nice to see whose advice Cameron values…
