Geldof gets chummy with Cameron

Christmas has come late for the Conservatives. David Cameron has presented the Tory party some gift-wrapped PR news - Bob Geldof has joined the party as their new consultant on global poverty.

Although Geldof is to remain party-neutral this can’t help but attract new younger voters at the next general election. Obviously Cameron knew this!

This must be a blow for Geldof’s old chums Blair and Brown. Once hailed as the ‘Lennon and McCartney’ of politics by U2’s Bono they seem to be becoming a comedy duo we have all heard enough of.
