Default PM's PR fightback descends into shambles

Mr Cameron had hoped to draw a line under the Government’s torrid few weeks with an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Mr Cameron admitted mistakes over the granny tax and the pasty tax debacles in the Budget.

He insisted that he did do the family *shopping and that he knew the price of a pint of milk.

He said: “I do a lot of our shopping. I go to Sainsbury’s* in Chipping Norton on Friday or Saturday.”

Mr Cameron was on the back foot again when he was forced to deny he was too “relaxed” about running the country amid claims that he spends too much of his time jogging, playing tennis or computer game Angry Birds.

Denying he was lazy, he said he worked “very, very hard”. But it was important to find time to play tennis.

He also said that watching DVD box sets with his wife Samantha and their regular date nights when they cooked for each other helped keep him grounded.

He was asked repeatedly to explain why he had given a job to Top Shop tycoon Sir Philip Green whose business paid a £1.2billion dividend to his wife, Tina, who lives in the tax haven of Monaco.
*Chipping Norton Sainsbury's supermarket plan refused

Quote:
West Oxfordshire District Council refused permission for the 30,000 sq ft (9,100 sq m) supermarket on the former Parker Knoll site at Chipping Norton.

Objectors had complained a new store would increase traffic and affect smaller businesses.

Sainsbury's said it would have provided greater food choice and created about 200 jobs.

Steve Pitz, of the Stop Chippy's Out of Town Supermarket (Scoots) campaign group, called the decision a "tick in the right box for common sense".

He said: "The advent of a new superstore development would have just been disastrous for the town retailers.

"They're all struggling... We need to support the town centre and not pull it apart."
One in the eye for the out-of-town bullet-proof limousine shoppers and a victory for "local empowerment" .....
