The article “Cameron vows to bring in gradual changes to Blair's 'hysterical' reform” is an article reporting on a speech made to “a Guardian public services summit”.
From what is written (it seems to be a verbatim representation) the speech was in all convoluted and delivered with suitable verve to attract the eyes of the media. I think that this kind of journalism represents the limitations of The Guardian’s neutral stance.
In something as politically charged as a major address to a significant group within British society it is very difficult for a newspaper like The Guardian to do anything but represent the facts. I can imagine that this article really is very important to almost all people in this country but for very different reasons.
It could be cynically argued that regular readers of The Guardian may not be interested to a large extent because they would never vote for David Cameron. To me, someone who assesses my voting by my belief in policy and not strict party lines, this speech and the subsequent article is of great interest to me because of the solid policy that might come out of it. Instead it represents the manner in which David Cameron and his shadow cabinet tickle the different elements of the public that can get him elected as Prime Minister. This article gives the best chance of seeing behind the smoke and mirrors simply because of the lack of polish The Guardian puts on such a story.
