Cameron is arrogant – Harman
By Sam Dale
Harriet Harman has launched a scathing attack on David Cameron branding him “arrogant”.
Speaking to the New Statesman, the deputy leader of the Labour party accused Mr Cameron of having a “born to rule” attitude.
“I’ve never believed the Cameron myth. I’ve sat there opposite him, sitting next to Gordon in Prime Minister’s Questions, and I’ve always thought that he has a sense of being born to rule, entitlement, it’s like ‘my right to be in Downing Street, which I find quite objectionable – he’s arrogant,” she said.
Ms Harman also highlighted some of the advantages she believes the Conservative leader has enjoyed.
She continues: “He has had lots of shelter from scrutiny, he’s had lots of unwarranted media support, he’s had pots of money, and none of it worked for him because it’s the substance, that’s the point.”
Labour’s deputy leader also played up her role in the election campaign despite rumours she has been ‘sidelined’.
“I’m playing a very active role,” she says. “I’m out energising the troops. Well, they don’t really need energising. I’m out there mobilising. This is going to be very much an on-the-doorstep, at-the-school-gates campaign.
“The debates are very important, but there is also the person who is on the doorstep, who is on your side and knocking on your door.”
