Scraping the bottom of the barrel

You can take the cult of self-criticism too far, you know. Yes, it is good to admit mistakes, but sackcloth and ashes should not be the dress of choice for aspiring politicians. The Herald reports:
Just hours after Mr Cameron, in an exclusive interview with The Herald, admitted his party had let Scotland down, David Mundell, the Tories' solitary Scottish MP, suggested the Tories were still not addressing people's concerns effectively.
The Shadow Scottish Secretary told the BBC: "We have to change. We've got to become a party which people feel is in touch with the issues they are concerned about in Scotland - health, education, transport, the economy - and we are still struggling to do that."

Look guys, if you don't believe in yourselves, why should anyone else?
