Oh dear. One's confidence in the accuracy of a profile of Policy Exchange collapses when, at the start, it has this howler:

Nicholas Boles, Browne's predecessor as Policy Exchange director, is the Conservative candidate for Grantham, Margaret Thatcher's old seat.

Er, no. That's where she was born. Her seat was Finchley, as any fule kno. And that dented confidence is well placed. The rest of it is close to being a hatchet job.

Still, no surprise in the Grauniad.
