Little commitment to any purposeful foreign policy initiatives from either Brown or Milliband. Surely this must form the focus of Cameron's speech next week? I'm not too sure how we have come to have a primary school kid as Foreign Sec...? I was delighted to see Paxman tear strips off Milliband last night.

You may be right, however, I suspect Brown does not have a "rousing battlefield cry" in his repertoire of public-speaking skills.

PS I've only just come down from the heights of ecstacy that came with our first win in village cricket at the weekend…

A rousing, battlefield cry on election imminence would only have served to gee up the tories next week and unite what is a weak, directionless team around Cameron. Without this election energy to galvanise "les blues", Brown has quite possibly pulled off a clever stroke in impelling the Tories to spend their conference questioning & searching just where the policy and oppostion is going to come from within their meandering ranks.
