text: David Cameron likes to project an image as the 'chillaxing' statesman unruffled by political troubles - but this morning his usual demeanour seemed to desert him as he donned a bizarre outfit on the campaign trail. The Prime Minister looked  exhausted as he stepped off the sleeper train at Penzance today, ahead of a speech in which he delivered his 'plan for Cornwall'. The Conservatives are battling against their Coalition partners in the South-West as they seek to wrest control of key constituencies from the Liberal Democrats. But Mr Cameron is still trailing Ed Miliband's Labour Party nationally, with just 14 days to go until polling day. Get-up: David Cameron stepped off the sleeper train at Penzance this morning wearing jeans, smart shoes and a navy jacket . Journey: The Prime Minister travelled for eight hours from Paddington station to reach Cornwall . Tired out: The Tory leader did not appear to have enjoyed a good night's sleep on the train and was wearing an unusual combination of solely dark colours . A YouGov poll published this morning put Labour on 34 per cent - one point ahead of the Tories. The Lib Dems trail on 7 per cent with Ukip in third on 14 per cent. Mr Cameron said in an interview this week that he 'always manages to portray a calm smoothness' - however, he looked anything but smooth at Penzance station. The Prime Minister seemed as if he had had trouble sleeping on the eight-hour journey from London's Paddington station. His hair was unkempt and he was wearing an unusual combination of jeans with shiny loafers which might be considered more appropriate for a smart business suit. Destination: He apparently chose the sleeper to avoid taking time out of his schedule to travel . Outfit: Mr Cameron wore a navy jacket, dark blue shirt, jeans and smart black shoes - as well as a red box . Inspiration? Mr Cameron may have been trying to channel the style sense of US President Barack Obama . Mr Cameron sported a navy jacket with a dark blue polo shirt, and set off his outfit with the ultimate status symbol - a red box holding ministerial papers, which only a few dozen people are entitled to carry. While the jacket may have looked inoffensive, the Tory leader may have been making a political statement in support of the Union, as it appears to have been made by Scottish firm Lyle & Scott. Similar models retail online for around £125. Speaking at a factory later, he insisted that he had in fact slept very well - because his wife Samantha was not there to complain about him talking in his sleep. Mr Cameron said: 'It was very comfortable, very nice it was too, to have a night without the children waking me up or Mrs Cameron nudging me in the ribs and telling me to shut up for talking in my sleep.' In an interview with the Spectator published yesterday, Mr Cameron was asked why he has a reputation for lacking passion while on the campaign trail. Changed: The leader put on a more formal outfit for his speech at a company in Penzance . Gimmick: Mr Cameron tried out a selfie stick during a visit to radio station Pirate FM today . Snap: The Prime Minister used the gadget to take this photograph of himself with the station's staff . He replied: 'I don't know. There is something about me - I always manage to portray a calm smoothness or something.' But he went on to point to his hectic campaigning schedule - as shown by his decision to spend the night on the sleeper train in order to reduce his travel time in the day. While the overnight journey from London to Penzance lasts eight hours, Mr Cameron would have had to carve out five hours from his schedule if he had travelled to Cornwall in the daytime. There is also a 70-minute flight from Gatwick to Newquay Airport, not far from Penzance, but the Prime Minister may have calculated that taking the train is likely to project a more down-to-earth image. Fun: The Prime Minister took part in selfies with Tory activists during one of his Cornish campaign stops . Speech: Workers at the Rodda dairy factory in Redruth watch Mr Cameron address them . Back to business: In the afternoon the Prime Minister flew to Brussels for a summit on the ongoing Mediterranean migrant crisis . The constituency of St Ives, where Penzance is located, is the most remote in the UK because it also contains the Scilly Isles. It is typically the last area to declare its results after a General Election, due to the need to transport ballots from the islands to the mainland the morning after the vote. The seat is currently held by Lib Dem Andrew George, but the Tories will be keen to overturn his 1,719 majority as part of efforts to drive the party out of the South-West. In his speech at a scaffolding firm this morning, Mr Cameron told activists that Labour do not care about anything 'west of Bristol', adding: 'Now imagine what it would be like if Alex Salmond was calling the shots.' How the true blue PM takes refuge in navy outfits for work and play . The Prime Minister is known for his love of navy outfits - nearly all of his suits are dark blue, and he also sports the inoffensive colour when on holiday in Britain or abroad. He often resorts to navy polo shirts even while wearing casual attire such as shorts or flip-flops, having apparently calculated that the shade suits him and is unlikely to cause a political stir compared to more outlandish choices. On the campaign trail in recent weeks he has usually donned a navy suit - with the main exception being when he puts on high-viz jacket and hard hat for a visit to a factory. Favourite: Mr Cameron often wears navy blue when he is off duty, like in this photograph from his Cornish holiday in summer 2013 . Relaxed: The Prime Minister wore dark blue again while on holiday with wife Samantha in Portugal last year . Suit: Mr Cameron was wearing a dark jacket and trousers at a campaign event in Bedford yesterday . Superspy: David Cameron has backed William Hague to take over the role of James Bond . David Cameron has backed his Cabinet colleague William Hague to be the next James Bond - saying that it's time for Britain's most famous spy to be portrayed by a Yorkshireman. Speaking to Magic Radio's Nick Snaith, the Prime Minister was asked who he thought should take over from Daniel Craig when he gives up the role of 007. Mr Cameron replied: 'I'm a Sean Connery man so who is most like Sean Connery? Is it time for a Yorkshire James Bond? Is it time for William Hague to step forward? 'He's fit, he's healthy, he does yoga, he can probably crack a man's skull between his knee caps. I'd go for William Hague. 'You know we might have to sort out one or two things but I think he'd be good.' Mr Hague, the former Tory leader and Foreign Secretary, is set to have time on his hand after the Election because he is retiring from Government. Mr Cameron's rivals have previously weighed in on the Bond question - Ed Miliband said he thought Rosamund Pike should become the first female 007, while Nigel Farage proposed himself for the action role. In today's interview, the Prime Minister also confessed to his love of Game of Thrones, saying: 'I am a big Throny, I think it's great. I went to the set the other day. 'So I've stood on the wall. I've held Oath Keeper... Brienne of Tarth's sword. I was in Tyrion Lannister's bedroom. 'Well it's a bit like politics but actually, you know, you die even faster in Game of Thrones than you do in my chosen profession.'
