Spot the Ball competition: another week of Conservative own goals.

Good polls again for the conservatives this week. and yet all is not as it should be. Your chance to choose this weeks worst moment for the Tories.

1 Cameron lectures the world on carbon footprints, proposed a complicated flight tax, and then takes a private jet.

The Daily Mail had the story

David Cameron was accused of hypocrisy today after it emerged he used a plane to make a 90-mile journey.

The Tory leader - who last week unveiled proposals to tax unnecessary flights - took advantage of a private jet to travel from Oxford to a meeting near Hereford.

According to the AA's route planner, the 93-mile trip would have taken just two hours and 20 minutes by car.

2 Tory delegates boycott Cameron's conference speech

Many papers covered this. Here is the Guardian

There's nothing worse than turning up to perform to a half-empty auditorium. But yesterday David Cameron was forced to do just that.

Puffed-up claims by Conservative central office that 2,000 delegates had signed up for the spring conference were wide of the mark.

As this cameraphone picture - taken during the Tory leader's keynote conference speech - illustrates, Mr Cameron addressed far fewer party members at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham in what was supposed to be the high point of a "policy-lite" conference weekend.

And this is Kevin Maguire on the Mirror blog

I'm just back from a weekend in Nottingham, a great party city. Alas I was stuck at an uninspiring political gathering: the spring forum of the Tory Party. I've been to bigger and more exciting church fetes. The opinion polls might show David Cameron well ahead and big money is certainly swelling Conservative coffers. But the Nottingham conference was surprisingly low key, attended by fewer activists than the Liberal Democrat shout-a-thon a couple of weeks ago in Harrogate.
There was none of that whiff of power you could scent at Labour gatherings in the four years up to 1997 with lots of empty seats in the hall and small hall and few exhibitors. If I were Cameron, I'd be worried. His support is shallow and the Tory faithful don't like all that green stuff, particularly now his fondness for private jets and failure to recycle his own rubbish properly has added the stench of hypocrisy.

3 Tory MPs and Peers play "don't follow the leader"

David Cameron voted for the Sexual Orientations Regulations. It is a signal that the Tories are no longer a bunch of homphobes. Except that only 28 MPs followed him. In the Commons and the Lords, the great majority of Conservatives voted against the regulations, Where better to pick up the stroy than in the Pink News

Around 80 Conservative peers voted against the regulations, which will raise questions about the extent to which the party has become socially liberal under the leadership of David Cameron.

On Monday, Tory MPs forced a vote on the regulations in the Commons, and over 80 of them voted against, with Mr Cameron and 28 others voting in favour.

4 Then there was the Budget debate - and Cameron failed to spot that Brown had robbed the poor to give to the rich. There was dismay in the Tory ranks when Ming Campbell got up and told them what Brown had done.

The FT was not convinced by the rest of the Cameron performance

Mr Cameron had a good opening line: “One tax down, 99 up.” But the morning headlines – about Brown’s “Stalinism”, and polls that show Prime Minister Brown just about dead-heating with a flu epidemic – must have seemed a long way away. Mr Cameron lost the plot rapidly after that, making at least two or three Stalin jokes too many, and half the time turning to talk off-mike.

That's it for this week. I'm sure I have missed something, but that will do for now.

Here is the poll.
