ToryDiary: Ten observations from day three and Brown's old politics versus Cameron's next generation politics
Columnist Peter Franklin identifies the main categories of disloyalty amongst Conservatives, and argues that the struggle for Conservative values has to begin with loyalty.
Cameron's speech
"David Cameron will try to turn the tables on Gordon Brown today by accusing him of resorting to the "dog-whistle" style of politics associated with right-wing political parties." - Independent
"In his closing speech to the Tory conference, party leader Mr Cameron will urge members to inspire voters." - BBC
"He must decide whether his objective is to fire the opening shots in his election campaign – or alternatively whether to do his utmost to ensure that whatever he says will scare off any remaining thoughts Gordon Brown may have about calling a November election." - Michael Brown in the Independent
Fresh tax cuts for families and companies
"Personal and business tax cuts will be unveiled by the Conservatives in any autumn general election campaign, The Times was told yesterday, as poll fever began to run out of control."
Immigrant numbers will be cut
"The number of immigrants allowed into Britain would fall dramatically under a Tory government, David Davis said yesterday. The Shadow Home Secretary vowed to shut Labour's open door policy which is swelling the population by nearly 200,000 a year." - Daily Mail
Retrospective treaty referendum guaranteed
"David Cameron staked out his position on Europe yesterday by guaranteeing a referendum on any future transfers of power to the European Union if the Tories are elected." - Independent
DFID should expose aid corruption
"A Conservative government would set up an anti-corruption hotline on its first day in office to encourage help expose scams which siphon off British overseas aid." - Guardian
Recent polling doesn't feel right
"We sense the change, even if we haven't yet verbalised it. There is a pulse in the air, a tremor underfoot. The Tories feel it here in Blackpool. Gordon Brown must feel it, too, as he gnaws away at his finger-stumps in the skies above Mesopotamia. His moment has passed. He has peaked." - Dan Hannan in the Telegraph
Six reasons for being an uber-moderniser
"I am an über-moderniser. The moment the phrase was coined by George Osborne to described the keepers of the Tory modernising faith I realised the term fitted me perfectly." - Daniel Finkelstein in the Times
Couples tax credits a rubbish idea
"I wish the same could be said for Mr Cameron’s other “childhood” policy, rewarding couples with children with extra tax credits. Mr Cameron appears unable to see what every other numerate person can: his plan is rubbish." - Alice Miles in the Times
Brown to stage a row over treaty
"Senior shadow cabinet members fear that Gordon Brown will seek to shore up his Eurosceptic credentials by staging a row with his fellow EU leaders in the middle of an election campaign at a summit to discuss the details of the new EU treaty." - Guardian
Labour get hold of CCHQ campaign layout
"In a leaked document passed to the Guardian, the floor plan of the war room reveals space for 148 staff, including the closest aides to David Cameron and George Osborne." - Guardian
Don't withdraw too quickly
"Iraq has turned significantly for the better in recent months and the once doubted “surge” has been vindicated. But these are early days for an army that still has to demonstrate its capacity in the sort of policing activities that will be demanded in and around Basra." - Times leader
Brown's Britain no longer US' closest ally
"The White House no longer views Britain as its most loyal ally in Europe since Gordon Brown took office and is instead increasingly turning towards France and Germany, according to Bush administration sources." - Telegraph
