Gunning for George

Two of the Daily Telegraph's big hitters Jeff Randall and Simon Heffer were laying into the Tory's George Osborne even before the "Corfu capers" story broke. Last Saturday Heffer began a piece in his column: "When I described George Osborne, the teenage shadow chancellor, as a "dolt", some of you thought I was unkind. I wasn't unkind enough." He then went on to accuse the shadow chancellor of lying about Tory economic policy in an interview on the Today programme. Randall commented last week: "Osborne seems to have frozen in the headlights. As the situation becomes ever more serious, George looks increasingly flaccid."
