Interesting to see today’s Sunday Times headline “Brown on course to win election”, with a poll showing the gap between Labour and the Tories down to 2 points.
I think I am practically the only person in Britain to have predicted consistently that Labour will retain office and that David Cameron will not be prime minister. I have been widely ridiculed for this for years. Now, slowly as usual, the conventional wisdom is catching up. To the disgust of Tories and the dismay of most in the media, we have a real fight on our hands.
