“The challenges we are facing today are equally mighty, if not bigger, than what she faced in terms of the turnaround and rebalancing the economy,” he says, accepting the cup of coffee-flavoured hot water you are served in first class. “The resolve required is the same. But I’m trying to re-industrialise Britain,” he stresses, implicitly conceding that Thatcher did the opposite.

The awkward moment when you realise that one of your toons is accidentally David Cameron.
Our Prime Minister, ladies and gentleman, he’s the one in the middle of the sandwich in case you couldn’t tell.
Adorable, goofy thing <3
From The Sunday Times Magazine
“He tells me that he is “Germanic” about time efficiency. “I like meetings with a purpose, that begin and finish on time.”
“An aide tells me that if she “pops something in the [red] box, it’s always there, answered, the next morning.” Cameron explains that some civil servants still suffer night sweats over Gordon Brown’s chaotically messy desk with it’s teetering pile of unmade decisions.”
“His advisers are pleasant enough, but many are young and timid. His silverback status makes him the über-male, taller by a head, incontestably the boss. This is reinforced by his body language. He stands legs akimbo, feet powerfully planted, crotch thrust forward, and waving his hands.”
[On the backbenchers that dislike him] “I am one of the first prime ministers in a generation who, when he’s finished doing PMQs, goes to the House of Commons dining room and has lunch and listens to everyone. I don’t feel hostility, there’s lots of banter and fun, I feel warmth and friendship.”
“He is proudest of a picture painted by his eldest daughter Nancy, 9, of the Mona Lisa (which appears to be a portrait if Samantha).”
“His staff often tell me that Florence, 2, often wanders into the press office or private office in her pyjamas with her bottle to see daddy. “Florence has never known any other home, he does sort of wander about not knowing which is home and which is office, it does all meld together, though we try to keep the flat separate, that is home, it’s where homework takes place. I do nip up a bit, because you can and with Florence it’s very spoiling because I can just nip up for a hug,” he says tenderly.”
His silverback status makes him the uber-male, taller by a head, incontestably the boss. This is reinforced by his body language. He stands legs akimbo, feet powerfully planted, crotch thrust forward, and waving his hands. There is no question he is a skilled communicator.
Oh, hello, didn’t realise I’d be reading porn this morning
Cnnr pls: His staff tell me that Florence, 2, often wanders into the press...

But does he not feel threatened by Boris’s easy charm and popularity (he outscores Cameron in some opinion polls and is widely tipped as the next leader)? “No, I love Boris.” Would he be a good prime minister? “He’d be a…” he stops. “It’s not up to me to pick the next leader of the Conservative party, or the one after that, but I’d never want to put a limit on Boris, I encourage him. Boris can do anything.” Surely Boris has been the man Cameron had to beat, ever since they were at school together. “This is one of the great myths of politics,” says the PM. “These things grow up and it’s so long ago no one challenges them, but I don’t think we really knew each other at school, he was a couple of years ahead of me. He was very clever.”
Then Cameron explodes into a beaming grin. “But,” he says exultantly. “Boris didn’t get a First! I only discovered that on the Panorama programme the other night… I didn’t know that.” He is suddenly lit up, almost punching the air with joy.
And in that outburst of public-schoolboy competitiveness — Cameron of course, did get a First — he reveals everything we’ve always thought about him.
That he’s adorable and competitive?
