Iain Dale on Radio 4

Political blogger, Iain Dale on Radio 4 this morning said that the Conservatives had to offer the electorate something different at the next election.

He was responding to the would-be Chancellor, George Osborne, who said ( and I'm paraphrasing here) "it would be irresponsible of me to say that a new Conservative Government would immediately introduce tax cuts". The only thing he didn't say was prudent.

Look 'ere Georgie boy, if you want to get elected in 2008/9 start distancing your party from the wishy-washy, federalist, PC agenda of the Lib/Lab alliance. Or do you want DC to be leader of Blue Labour as you a rightly referred to in certain circles.
