I think it's time for everyone in London to read Jae's Guide To Using A Train

Awww... David Cameron has given a very worthy speech filled with lovely platitudes about politics that you can believe in. Then he goes on about the usual Tory policies. I mean... where are the politics I can believe in? Where's the high ideals? No where... we have weak, old, piecemeal policies. It's hardly a Tory revolution. And some of the passages are laughable...

"One of the aspirations people still have and rightly so is the aspiration to own a flat and a home of their own and all of us... all of the shadow cabinet here they could tell the same story... of young people who come to our surgeries, they show you their salary, they talk about local house prices and they just say I don't see how I can achieve that dream and George showed how we're going to cut stamp duty to show that we're on their side and we'll help mend the rungs of the housing ladder and get on their side. This is the party of aspiration and opportunity and George [Osborne] has shown us the way."


Oh big deal... how on Earth does he expect this to help??? The problems with the housing market are massive, and the changes needed to fix it are going to be painful and unpopular... Sadly David Cameron doesn't have the balls to tackle the problem. Time for a change? Yes. Time for the Tories? NEVER.
