One of the things about Cameron on Cameron is that it provides journos with a bank of quotes from the Tory leader, on more topics than you could care to think of. Accordingly, then, I flicked through it, looking for some words on Andrew Lansley, whilst writing my earlier post. There’s only one relevant entry in the index and it took me to this exchange:
[Dylan Jones:] Sell me your Shadow Cabinet. What’s so brilliant about it?
[David Cameron:] Our Cabinet is so much stronger than theirs. David Davis (Shadow Home Secretary) is quite clearly so much stronger than Jacqui Smith. Or look at Liam Fox (Shadow Secretary of State) against Des Browne. There’s just no comparison. Andrew Lansley knows more about the NHS and how it works that any Labour Health Secretary. Michael Gove (Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families), a very bright guy with two kids, is clearly the right guy for the job.
