Tory Tales

An interesting Guardian profile of David Cameron's spinmeister Steve Hilton (MA 81-83, LA 83-86) has provoked this response at ConservativeHome, accusing him of control freakery but conceding nonetheless, 'What is certain about Steve Hilton is that no Tory adviser has ever enjoyed such influence on a party leader in modern times. It is also true that he has managed to combine his dominant role with being very well liked.' The Telegraph seems not to agree with the last bit.
