Boris Johnson: those defecting to UKIP sort of people who go to hospital with 'barely credible injuries' caused by 'vacuum cleaners' #CPC14
That's too much. He had to resign.
The Prime Minister toured the regional receptions getting steadily more pumped up in his anger about Reckless’s duplicity. Rumour is rife the words ‘effing Reckless’, ‘fat arse’ and ‘dick head’ were blurted out in various versions of a tub-thumping turn by Cameron.

Two questions:
1) Why would ANYONE wear them?
2) What is the political significance? I assume there is some...
1 - They ran out of tartan ones in the shop
2 - Apparently he has no nause
Surprised he never called him baldy
Dads a kipper, and when I last saw her interviewed she was almost speaking KIppernese!
Well, we are standing and waiting.
Stand by your beds!
Here comes the Air Vice-Marshal,
he's got some rings on his arm
but he's only got one arsehole
So who can blame him for wanting Salmond bagged stuffed and mounted on his wall? He should be reminded though that he was too much of a feeble weakling to go and kill the beast himself and needed others to do it for him. Given his Downton Abbey mindset, having others do things for him probably seems so natural that he doesn't get how silly he looks.

Hmmmmmm....
'Rear Window: Why Alan Clark is rich: Three generations prosper on the fruits of the spool
HOW DID Alan Clark, the former Tory minister, acquire a castle in Kent, a couple of farms in the West Country, a chalet in Zermatt, 27,000 acres of Highland estate, a fine collection of old paintings and cars, and a reputation for carefree '18th-century behaviour' which was last week embellished with allegations of him exposing himself to a 13-year-old girl? How did Mr Clark come to be worth, by his own estimate, pounds 20m?
...Demand for thread increased enormously with the invention of the domestic sewing machine in the United States in the 1840s. Around the same time came the collapse of the Paisley shawl industry, which had flooded Europe with its machine- made imitations of the original Kashmir pattern. It was simply a whim of fashion. Shawls were out. It meant, however, that Paisley had large supplies of cheap female labour. The Clarks prospered, overcame American protectionism by opening a factory in New Jersey, and by the second half of the century were making profits so large that they could give their native town a new town hall and bequests ranging from bowling greens to the Annie Clark Fund for Incurables.'

Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.
Anyway, nice one Marf. But, really, as Richard Feynman's first wife said to him: " What do you care what other people think?"

This is what they think of people who vote UKIP. This is how they see you. They aren't on your side http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2773868/Boris-building-Cameron-prepares-parade-star-player-Tory-conference-quell-UKIP-jitters.html …

But, nothing much to look at here, "incumbency will save us", except that this researches the likely result with incumbency.
I agree with Janet, a downbeat presentation.
Almost as if he does not want to win the GE.
"We want sensible control of the number of people coming in. It is the right and the duty of every state to have some idea of how many people want to settle in its boundaries, what jobs they propose to do there and how much it is going to cost its local authorities.’"
So immigration is on Cameron's repatriation list.

A couple of weeks ago we were discussing rail services in Lincolnshire. It turns out that the abysmal Lincoln to Nottingham service (via Grantham) is being bolstered.

That was 16 hours ago though ;-)
Ooops....shouldn't have said.
Former Ukip Treasurer Stuart Wheeler tells me Mark Reckless wasn't one of the 6-7 Tories with whom he had lunch to get them to defect
If the US did intervention assessments based on those 3 factors they'd save themselves plenty of trouble.
They should not, therefore, attempt an attack on West Belfast around 8.30-8.45am on weekdays, that place is full of pyjama mamas delivering their kids to school.
Boris is ranting like some meths soaked London vagrant, Dale's calling another defection, everyone and his grannie in the Tory party is denying they are defecting Kippers are adding hints that further confuse the issue and no one has a clue who might defect next yet everyone is expecting another defection.
Meanwhile the Tory message sinks without a trace.....
This is even more of a coup than the UKIP conference!
The conservatives teamed up with the SWP in Rochester on Sunday so maybe they could get Alan Sked on board?
RT this to let friends know. http://t.co/boJlnh0Phw
A bit like "Decide or decline"... it doesn't even really make sense: Farage wasn't the one who said it in the first place
Who is in charge of these useless tweets? Not the same dud who thought up bingo gate?
Whether this will work as a strategy is harder to determine. The Scottish referendum suggests that, notwithstanding our bizarre and innumerate media, there is ultimately a majority in favour of sanity and reality. Not the loudest part of the population perhaps but there none the less.
Labour's determined refusal to engage with planet earth should make Osborne's job a little easier. We shall see.
manofkent is right, this might as well be a UKIP conference, it is entirely defined by them and all anyone will remember about it will be defections and bitter attempts to forestall defections.
At least with UKIP their leader can spot an dodgy policy!

I hope they are all back in the 2015 manifesto?

There is also the heroic Lechlade group that tried to bring in an element of democracy into the UKIP policy making....
That's a LD core vote of 2%.

There is no real alternative to tackling the deficit in the next parliament, as even Ed Balls knows.
I understand that he wants to:
- Paint Labour as the 'welfare party'
- Argue that further austerity is needed to balance the books
- Show the Tories will make 'tough decisions'
The speech in political terms will help bolster these strengths. But it does nothing to address the weakness that people see the Conservatives as out of touch, only caring about the rich and as not valuing public services.
The government was popular up until the 2012 budget. Why? Because people genuinely believed the 'we're all in this together' line. They believed the national interest line. But cutting taxes for the wealthy made people think that while they were suffering the rich were not.
If the budget deficit is the most important danger facing the country then why use money providing a big tax cuts to wealthy pensioners while cutting support for young people? All it does is reinforce the Conservative's negatives.
They should look at Angela Merkel. The most successful Conservative politician in the world. She wins by dominating the centre and being seen as a leader for all Germans, not just the rich.
If the Tories hadn't cut the 50p tax rate and introduced temporary tax increases on the rich as part of a national effort to eliminate the deficit - as suggested by Tim Montgomery - they would be strolling to re-election and in a position to deliver tax cuts in a 2nd term.
Instead they have reinforced their negatives for another generation of voters. From someone who is supposedly an expert strategist I just don't get the strategy.
Farage was asked about it a couple of days later and said it wont be happening
Make of it what you will, but "Farage is making it up as he goes along" only works if it was Farage who suggested it in the first place
Or would it be better if he let rubbish ideas become party policy?
Maybe I am different to other party supporters, but I don't see how they get so animated about minor goings on in UKIP... if Diane Abbott suiggested all black shortlists, and Ed Miliband said "That aint happening" I would think it made him look strong not weak, or if Cable said he wanted a mansion tax and Cleg said no, the same.. weird
Though clearly Farage thinks that he should control all policies. The role of other party members is to stand back and applaud. Something that I think Carswell will get fed up with fairly quickly.

Tonight in @EvanHD's first interview as #Newsnight presenter he'll be chatting to @David_Cameron. Tune in to #BBCTwo at 22:30.
IIRC he was presenting their economic policy, billed as such on the links that various kippers posted to try and show there had not been a U-turn...
So the economic policy, as presented by the economic spokesman, is just a idea floated for discussion, and not in fact their economic policy.
That's almost worse than the U-turn
Although when it comes to the Tories its whats not in the manifesto that's seems to be more important.
Net Migration in the 100's of Thousand
Raising VAT
Redefining Marriage
An EU Referendum
Minimum Alcohol Pricing
An AV+ Referendum
Transferring 35 Criminal Justice Powers to Brussels
Oh and of course getting into bed with the Libdems...
