Downing St: Wrong Judgement Again.

This morning this Blog said Fiona Woolf would not survive the weekend as chairman of the child abuse Inquiry. In fact she did not survive the day. So we were right in principle but wrong on detail. But who cares. We are just a blog.

But Ten Downing Street is not just a blog. It is the heart of our government, the office and home of the Prime Minister. Yet, once again on a major public issue, the Prime Minister has made an error of judgement and one that is utterly transparent. David Cameron is losing credibility at a time when he should be forging ahead. He has a clear run against Milliband and Clegg, but not against Farage. Nobody understands why he and his advisers make these mistakes. Remember Andy Coulson, Butler-Sloss and now Woolf to mention just the big ones. Whatever the reasons it does not give confidence in a man of sound judgement. Moreover it reinforces the notion that the whole Westminster machine as now set up is not fit for purpose. To whom will voters turn? Well in Scotland they are turning in tens of thousands to the SNP. And in England? Just wait and see.
