Increasingly obvious that their driving motivation is "anybody but Labour/Ed".
"IS TONTY BLAIR BEHIND THIS???!!!!111???!!!"

As energy and conviction drains from main political conferences, some of it is flowing into Nigel Farage’s ragged insurgency
The Guardian view on Ukip conference: Nigel Farage’s phoney flutter
Ukip has come north to offer itself as a party for blue-collar voters. It is a fraudulent offer

Mr Farage said that the NHS would be safe in Ukip’s hands. This is simply incompatible with the classic Tory tax-cutting agenda that he then announced a few hours later, in which inheritance tax would be scrapped and those on skilled workers’ salaries would get a 5p income tax cut. The figures do not add up, and the gap between income and spending would widen still more if the flatter tax regime the party favours as a goal, with a further 5p cut in the top rate of income tax, ever came into force. Mr Farage is selling a lie.

And up to age 30. It was already at 43.6% when the promise was made.RogerOThornhill wrote:
There isn't one. And no, there wasn't one pre-2010 either. Try 50% in education or training.
Look at this lying Tory bollocks.
Who suggested overruling admissions tutors from Whitehall?A spokesman for the Conservative Party said: "This shows what a complete and utter nonsense setting a target is.
"The only criteria for going to university should be the quality of the candidate as judged by an admissions tutor.
"It is ridiculous to try to shovel people in by lowering the academic threshold. We would leave it to the good sense of admissions tutors to decide who they want in their university."
Or indeed lowering enterance requirements?
And the sodding numbers are going down!
The promise was "higher education"- which is a bit ambiguous, but would surely mean more than just universities.

Tories launch their first election giveaway.
And to do this they're exempting housebuilders from some taxes and selling brownfield land cheap.
Hmm... am I wrong in thinking that they receive some large donations from housing developers?

Jeremy Hunt won't be happy. He doesn't like people messing with markets.
He dissed old man Miliband for that.

Another Tory wheeze that didn't go according to plan then.
Sorry Robert but what's that about NHS Property Services please?
(My first post using a tablet - which has convinced me to go out and buy a laptop!).
Happy to be called a Labour Party Tribalist as I don't consider it as an insult in the grand scheme of things!
