Not the end, not the beginning of the end, but perhaps the end of the honeymoon?
The polls have spoken and the headlines take on an unfamiliar aspect for David Cameron. He peaked in May, and now the polls show that he is struggling to stay in touch with the electorate.

Just a poll - but taking David Cameron into uncharted territory. Suddenly he is just another politician, and with the negative popularity figures to prove it.
The truth is that he never was as popular or successful as the press suggested. Now the headlines are changing too.
What this implies is that Cameron will have less leeway to modernise the Tories.
Not that he has got very far. The headlines about his "brave" A-list (and B-list) proposals have turned into the selection of a brace of Rees Moggs and and Sandys. This is scarcely a stepping stone to a new, more inclusive Tory party.
Tory tax proposals have revealed the truth of Cameron´s "NHS" slogan (it means No Hospital Safe).
Personally I blame the conference. What people saw of the Tories and of Cameron confirmed their worst fears. No one is arguing that he is finished. But after a year in which both Lib Dems and Labour have been playing with the self-destruct button, Cameron has little to show. Not even good headlines

Explain to me why the tax proposals mean "No Hospital Safe". I mean I think (IIRC) the full list of reforms to the tax system might have meant a 1% reduction in the tax take. This is hard to square with "No Hospital Safe".
Safer than with Labour!
