Cameron by Conservative Home
I suspect most of the readers of this blog (25,000 hits last month) also read Conservative Home, but I still think it is worth pointing out this report about their attendance at the Labour Progress Conference which is an excellent read and explains why the Conservatives are getting it right.
I am going to be totally sycophantic and disagree with the final point over the environment. I think the Conservative commitment to the environment is authentic, I just think it is an impossible issue to get the balance right (for any political party) between individual liberties and freedoms and sorting out the environment at the moment (thus speaks someone who flew out ot Dublin to run a marathon!).
I really like the comments about IDS, I have always felt that renewed commitment to Social Justice is one of the most important steps that the Conservative Party have taken in recent times and is evidence that IDS did a lot more for the Party than he is given credit for.

I agree with you regarding the authencity of the conservative attitude to the environment and I have long been a Labour voter-but not Party member.What shifted me towards the Tories was learning that a leading labour organiser in the South of England, Malcolm Powers, was reported as saying that the environment could go hang; that housing was a priority and they could concrete the whole place over as far as he was concerned.Apparently Powers is a close associte of Martin Salter the Labour Party Environment Spokesman.All a bit worrying!
