Telegraph: Reports " David Cameron is the new leader of the British Left..It’s now impossible for anyone on the progressive Left to construct an intellectually coherent argument for voting Labour "
Lets Get Real:
The speech by the Prime Minister was very different than the one this blog expected, the PM hit the issues of security and EU, but then moved to the left, he wants to deal with hard social issues, he wants to reform prisons, he wants more social mobility, in that part of the speech even Labour moderates could agree with, it will be interesting to see how the Conservative Party deals with this call by the PM for action. Of course at the moment the PM has the wind at his back, he has won a election every thought he would lose, and Labour has elected Jeremy Corbyn, the PM has been very lucky, but there will be tough times, when the tax credits are cut expect the BBC/Guardian types to argue that the speech today was ALL PR, but this PM does care, he wants all the UK to benefit, the question does have the time and the political skill to be successful.
