Cock and bull spin from Cameron on Grammargate

There is a full page article in the Observer which says that David Cameron started Grammargate to split the parliamentary Labour party.

I’d be interested to hear verification of this story. I am sure that thought passed through the minds of Tory high command. But to suggest it was a deliberate strategy…..and to suggest after having a week or so to think it up. Come on! In all my years reading the Observer I have to say that this is, in the absence of further verification, the biggest load of cock and bull I have ever read in that organ.

Perhaps I am ageist. The Political Editor of the Observer, Nicolas Watt, who wrote the report, looks as though he has just come out of sixth form. I am turning into a grumpy Old Man, I know, and I apologise to Mr Watt. I am sure he is extremely skilled, of course. After all, Andrew Rawnsley looked as though he was still in short trousers when he started writing superlative Parliamentary Sketches in the Guardian.
