Columnist Comments
• Andrew Grice: Enough of the philosophy, Mr Cameron.
Think-tanks play an important role in politics. But they have their limits.
• Christina Patterson: Very nice - but forgiveness is overrated

• Mary Dejevsky: Why not call Blair now and wrap it up?
The enquiry already seems like a sideline as the queues dwindle.
