With party-conference season well under way, Guido usefully reminds us of the dangers of YouTube. Mike, Cheryl, Bobby and Jay may have taught us that the camera never lies (three weeks at #1 …), but nor does it necessarily tell the whole truth either.

You really need to watch the video in question (and sorry about the apalling sound quality), but it all falls into place when you add (as one of Guido’s astute readers points out) the words “The government and the Tories think that …” in front of the clip.

YouTube is a powerful tool, but also a powerful weapon if misused. You have been warned.
