What might turn out, in the long-run, to be a significant bit of David Cameron's keynote speech today to the Conservative conference: David Miliband said that "unless government is on your side you end up on your own." ... I thought it was one of the most arrogant things I've heard a politician say. For Labour there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no...

This is one of the best analyses of Labour’s current situation that I’ve seen, from comedian Richard Herring: What does Gordon Brown really have to lose at this point?
