Hague on Brown
Fraser Nelson 12:25pm
William Hague has been given the task of Brown baiting. His speech went quite well until this bit: "After ten years of failure and disappointment, he cannot be the change the country needs." There's something strange about hearing this Ghandi 'be the change' patter put into Hague’s mouth. As I suspect he knows, the public want politicians to enact change not purport to embody it. And this preference for "I am" rather than "I will" is what Cameron must reverse over this conference.

We know a list (even a comprehensive one) of Brown and New Labour non-achievement is not what interests voters, but having it presented in the at times Churchillian manner of William Hague, should ensure that what the voters need to hear will have a chance to come through. I'm waiting to see what The Sun makes of day one.
