I'd say their strategy is the Napoleonic one:
‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’
It's a matter of opinion whether you think Labour are doing that or not, but I think that is the Tory view. They managed to keep quiet about their private poll results being different from the public ones for 6 months during the election, so they seem to be well disciplined at present.
I'm sure they've got a rolodex of compromising quotes somewhere, though.

In the last week (or so) both Cameron and Osborne have made statements (reported in mainstream news) that Corbyn's policies would be a disaster for the UK. Can't find the reports now as my RSS Reader reset the other day and old stored articles were lost. But e.g.

Thanks for that, Ian. I'd say that that reinforces my point.
Nominations were announced on 15 June. Week 1.
Voting Started 16 August approx. Week 10.
Voting finishes 10 September. Week 13.
That we heard almost nothing until week 12 of a 13 week campaign,
by which point the large majority of people will have voted, and then it was quite tame statements, suggests to me that the Tories have been keeping quiet and now think JC has won. If they were going to attack him in the campaign, they would have done it sooner imo.
The Lab conference will be fascinating, because whoever the Leader and Deputy are will only hear the result two weeks in advance. That's not long to organise a Shadow Cabinet.

), what about the prospect of the touted National Investment Bank backing a reborn British cycle industry? I half jest, but you can be sure that Corbyn would definitely push for significant investment in proper cycle infrastructure.
