Summary

Tim Montgomerie is joined by Philip Collins, Matthew Parris and Rachel Sylvester. Subscribers to The Times will be familiar with the passionate divide of opinion between Philip Collins and Matthew Parris regarding the qualities of David Cameron's leadership. Philip Collins argues that David Cameron has yet to answer the question of what kind of country he wants to lead - "what would a second-term Cameron government actually want to do?"Matthew Parris draws focus towards Cameron's Conservatives principles and argues that the Prime Minister is preventing socialism and "resisting the creep of a Labour government into every corner of our lives and pockets." Rachel Sylvester suggests that "voters want more passion from the Prime Minister, but fear [the] Labour leader's zeal."Subscribe in iTunes: itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/did-you-read Subscribe to The Times: www.thetimes.co.ukFollow The Times Opinion pages on Twitter: @TimesOpinion
