Did Cameron do a bit for MI5 at uni?

Paranoid nonsense. I am happy to take this opportunity to denounce the rumour I am fanning even as I denounce it:

Hugh Muir's "Diary":

Dave is a steely operator. Determined to see the bigger picture. Determined to make this political fusion work. He is also more than willing to get his hands dirty, as we know from a little commented-upon report in the Spectator last year of the prime minister's exploits while working for the Conservative Research Department. "He spoke, revealing that when he worked there in the late 80s and early 90s, he conducted espionage on Labour extremism, joining groups like Militant Tendency and Red Wedge under the pseudonym of Robin Norse (or North)," reported Charles Moore. And Militant clearly had no idea that there was a Bullingdon boy in its ranks. Either he speaks fluent prole, or the Militants were less scary than we thought.
