In his most savage attack on the Conservative leader, Tony Blair admitted Mr Cameron had learned the "tactics of opposition" but still had no "strategy for government".

As a new opinion poll gave Labour hope of avoiding disaster in the Scottish elections, Mr Blair condemned Mr Cameron for being weak on law and order and the fight against terrorism.

Mr Blair, in a speech in his Sedgefield constituency, also claimed Mr Cameron's rhetoric on changing the Tories has failed to be matched by reality.

Far from taking the centre ground, the Tories have lurched to the Left on crime — with "hug a hoodie" policies — and to the Right on Europe, he said.

It comes as a new Times poll showed SNP support in Scotland had fallen in the past month, with Labour and the Lib-Dems gaining support as polling day draws nearer.
