Tories and the press

Cameron and Georgie have taken a massive gamble.  Their strategy of saying nothing was paying off! Now they have said something and said something fairly unpopular.  Refreshing in many ways that they have actually told it how it is.  The press however are going to have fun with this - on both sides.  Labour will be pressed to show its hand now but equally the first move by the Tories has them labelled as salary freezing killjoys.

The Daily Mail were fairly soft on him although the word austerity was written huge on the front page!  It will be interesting to see how the right wing press play it as the week rolls out.

The Sun meanwhile used the gamble word but will go soft on him as they have just pledged their support to the Tories.

Suddenly politics got mildly interesting.  Suddenly in a world of consensus politics we have a choice!  The next election could get interesting.
