Cameron to call for "a land of opportunity for all"
David Cameron will take to the stage today (Wednesday 2 October) to pledge to fight to make Britain "a land of opportunity for all".
In his closing speech to the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, the Prime Minister will set out an agenda which he will carry through to the next general election. He will distance his party from the Liberal Democrats and declare that the Tories want to win and to govern alone after 2015.
He will repeat his intention to wipe out the deficit and to clear up what he describes as "Labour's mess" and to "build something better".
He will focus on his party's intentions to continue to reform welfare, improve education and build an economic recovery to enable businesses to create jobs.
Mr Cameron is expected to tell his party: "In place of the casino economy, one where people who work hard can actually get on; in place of the welfare society, one where no individual is written off; in place of the broken education system, one that gives every child the chance to rise up and succeed.
"Our economy, our society, welfare, schools all reformed, all rebuilt with one aim, one mission in mind - to make this country at long last, and for the first time ever, a land of opportunity for all."
But Labour have blamed the government for a failure to create growth through their economic policies.
Conservative Party plans:
- Work to build economic recovery
- Aim to run a consistent government budget surplus by 2020
- Require the long-term unemployed to undertake work placements in order to continue receiving benefits
- Continue education reforms
