Politics Weekly: David Cameron says he's ready to lead

In this week's show we hear from Alan Duncan, the shadow business secretary. Alan tells us that David Cameron judged the mood right in response to the global financial crisis.

Joining Nick around the table at the Tory conference in Birmingham is Gaby Hinsliff, the political editor of the Observer. Gaby says she was disappointed by David Cameron's speech – she felt he was trying to say too many things and it didn't hang well together.

Martin Kettle, the Guardian columnist, described the speech as a "problem". Martin says the Tory leader should focus his fire more aggressively on the prime minister.

Jenni Russell, the Guardian columnist, thought the speech was effective. Jenni says David Cameron has a natural delivery.

We also hear from Steve Bell, the Guardian cartoonist. Steve tells us why he has been drawing David Cameron and George Osborne as the Teletubbies.
