Troubled Tories

Well, today's newpapers are not being very kind, understandably, about David Cameron's Conservative Party. Even the Tory-leaning Daily Telegraph is unable to put much gloss on the debacle with the House pundit, Anthony King, serving up a gloomy prognosis under the headline, "By-elections show Tories lack public confidence".
.
Columnist Simon Heffer – predictably – takes a more robust line, his analysis sporting the headline, "Ealing tragedy threatens Project Dave".
.
The editorial leader offers little cheer, telling its readers, "The Conservatives need to stop digging", observing, rather mildly, that David Cameron has not succeeded in engineering any "mood-swing" in the Tories' favour so far.
.
Our old friend Peter Hitchin, of the Daily Mail, who puts the boot in (rightly so) to Mr Cameron.
