Is Cameron starting to tackle Brownies? 

When Fraser asked for CoffeeHousers’ questions for Cameron yesterday, a number of you asked: “Why do you let Gordon Brown get away with his Brownies?”  (For the uninitiated, Brownies are the little lies that our Prime Minister tells on a regular basis).  We’ll be putting up the Tory leader’s full responses tomorrow, but – on the Brownies front – the gist of his answer was: “Fair point.  I’ll try and put this right.”

So it’s noteworthy that Cameron may, today, have started to do just that.  As Sky are reporting, he’s sent a letter to Gordon Brown asking him to explain his barefaced denial of Wendy Alexander’s call for a referendum on Scottish independence.  Here are snippets of that letter:

“Today you denied she had called for a referendum now …

…Perhaps, then, you could explain what she meant by this…

…Anyone who listened to Wendy Alexander’s remarks could be in no doubt that she meant a referendum should be held and it should not be delayed.
