Opportunistic and responding to events?

Seems to me that Tony Blair jumping onto the bandwagon supporting Jamie Oliver's campaign to improve school meals is avoiding the real election issues, economy and the public services, and smacks of opportunism as Labour's general election co-ordinator Alan Milburn might say.

It does smack of those things, yes, but it's a good issue to pick up right now. You can talk Issues all day, but find something the middle-class housewife actually knows and cares about every day, and you've got a campaign goldmine.
