Apparently, James Murdoch has agreed to share a platform with David Cameron at a Conservative "green business" summit to be held next Monday along with a number of other business leaders. The Financial Times also reported that the event will coincide with a an event Gordon Brown is hosting on the environment.
How significant is this I wonder? It's certainly quite a coup to have the CEO of Sky, and son of the main man of News Corp on the platform. Obviously the scheduling of the event to clash with Brown's is deliberate.
It's also happening just two weeks after Alistair Darling took the decision to get OFCOM to start an initial monopoly investigation into Sky's purchase of a significant ITV stake. Are we witnessing the impact of that decision and the first moves away from Brown by the Murdoch Empire?

With luck!
Recall that when Mrs T was elected in 1975 we were all ambivalent - but after Heath (who should have been exposed before he died) - she turned out to be far more determined that we ever imagined (and indeed it cost me my career) but she and Howe (god help us)was right. Let us hope that Cameron is made of the same stuf. Shame he represents Witney which has a vile track record - Hurd plus Woodward!
