As Boulton & Co. are reporting, Cameron’s marshalling his MPs for a meeting this evening – “all must attend”, apparently. As things go, it’s hardly earth-shattering news. But it’s a nice insight into the Team Cameron approach, nonetheless. What will be said? Sky’s source summarises the message as “We’re in for the long haul. Mustn’t get complacent”. With the Crewe & Nantwich by-election only a couple of weeks away, such pep-talks could pay dividends.
