We’re all in this together

George Osborne’s message to conference and the country was both honest and mature. I was pleased to hear some specific measures aimed at tackling our national debt crisis created by Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, but also a clear message that we will all have to play our part in getting the country out this mess. It was such a contrast to the re-announcements and desperate spin we heard last week in Brighton. We are not just talking about tough choices but making them, whilst still looking out for the poorest and most vulnerable in our society.
