Dodgy Dave should get lessons in tact from Likeable Liz

David Cameron was at his most slippery during his recent tour of the Middle East, trumpeting his commitment to the Arab democracy uprisings while leading a multi-billion-pound arms trade delegation intent on selling weapons to the very regimes their own people want gone.

While the Queen is something of a pro who has been doing this sort of charm offensive stuff all her life, Mr Cameron tends to tell the audience whatever it wants to hear

LIZ was unexpectedly light of touch, but if you’re still waiting around for an apology, it’s just possible Dodgy Dave might do the dirty work.
