The Scotsman cartoon: Conservative conference
Yesterday David Cameron asked for the Conservatives to be given the chance to “finish the job we’ve started” by being returned as a majority government at the 2015 general election.
In his keynote speech to the Conservative annual conference, the Prime Minister said the UK economy was “beginning to turn the corner” and pledged to build “a land of opportunity for all” by backing business, home-ownership and education as times get better.
He signalled that the Tory manifesto for 2015 will include measures to prevent young people claiming unemployment benefits after leaving school or college, saying that every under-25 should be “earning or learning”.
