One of the striking things about the extracts of David Cameron’s speech that have been briefed so far is that the Conservative Prime Minister is having to respond to a number of key themes of Ed Miliband’s conference last week. Labour should be pleased that it has set the agenda for this conference season, not just spooking ministers on the cost of living, but also forcing a defence of business and profit from the Prime Minister. Ed Miliband’s row with the Mail has also overshadowed the conference.
The Prime Minister will say:
‘We know that profit, wealth creation, tax cuts, enterprise… these are not dirty, elitist words – they’re not the problem. They really are the solution because it’s not government that creates jobs, it’s businesses. It’s businesses that gets wages in people’s pockets, food on their tables, hope for their families and success for our country.
