ISLAMIST EXTREMISM SPEECH
"David Cameron broke ranks with the Government over terrorism yesterday,
accusing Tony Blair of not doing enough to fight Islamic extremism or
protect the nation's security."
The Sun | The Guardian | The Telegraph | The Herald | Independent | FT
Full speech | Prescott's response
"Political sanctimony from Mr Prescott is hard to stomach, but it has to
be said that Mr Cameron left himself wide open to the attack. We trust
his future musings on these complex issues will be both more thoughtful
and more memorable." - Telegraph leader
BOOSTING SCIENCE
"The Conservative party's science task force has suggested that science A-levels should be worth more points to school leavers going to university." - BBC

"CENTRE-RIGHT" SALMOND SHOULD QUIT SEAT
"Alex Salmond was yesterday urged to quit his Westminster seat ahead of next year's Scottish elections by his Tory Holyrood rival. The SNP leader, currently MP for Banff and Buchan, is to contest the Scottish Parliament's Gordon seat next May." - Scotsman
"As a socialist advocate of independence, I find it sad the SNP has abandoned its principles and moved to the centre-right." - Campbell Martin in The Herald
TIME TO ADVANCE
"Up to now, Mr Cameron has managed to attract the voters by surprising
them, by making points that they did not expect to hear from a Tory.
Inevitably, that tactic could only be successful in the short term. An
opposition challenging for government cannot just raise new and
interesting concerns. It has, eventually, to address the anxieties that
most voters feel." - Bruce Anderson in the Telegraph
