‘Intolerable’ Hilton

I ASK the PM what it’s like having Steve Hilton [formerly one of Cameron’s closest aides] out there attacking him. It sounds to me as if DC really won’t have anything more to do with Steve, who has been highly critical on his current book tour. The theory in Downing Street is that he never got over the fact that the PM was prepared to let him go so easily. Life had become intolerable, with Steve (right) falling out with civil servants and apparently behind briefings that DC had betrayed their core mission. When he disappeared, the ship settled and we won a General Election.
