Today’s Telegraph carries a fragment of a story suggesting that David Cameron’s media team made up a story about the White House being upset with him for electoral reasons, which now has the White House really upset with him. I have no idea whether the story is true or not, but the Spectator journalist on whose work the story appears to be based is quite possibly the best young journalist in the UK today.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Conservative Party spoke to a joint meeting of Republicans Abroad and Conservatives Abroad yesterday. There’s video.
