Labour reaction to Cameron’s speech

David CameronBy Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

@blissfulblues: Hmm Cameron seemed to turn into Daniel Day Lewis from Last of the Mohicans there… “Just stay alive Britain, I will find you!”

@arwenfolkes How can so many leopards have changed their spots?

@sam_elliot: He has a dream. A very limited dream.

@AdamBienkov: Yay for Britain. Yay for evil, wonderful, broken, briliant Britain…

@CouncillorTudor Has Cameron mentioned Joe the Plumber yet?

@Heresy_Corner: There’s a ritual quality to these attacks on bureaucracy. “This needs to change”. Will it, though?

@tommilleruk This speech is underwhelming for the conference before election. Big govt stuff leaves him sounding a fourth rate Reagan

@cathynewman: I have to report a guy in front of me is fast asleep…

RT @MarkReckons This is pure 1996 Blair now. Cameron is using the New Labour script almost to the letter.

@chickyog Eek! Time to stock up on shotguns and tinned food. Dave says UK like deleted scene from Escape From New York.

laurahyde Anyone else watching Cameron and feeling a little nauseous?

Shinyalex Repeating Big Government over and over again. I feel like I’m watching Glen Beck.

chickyog More corpse waving from Dave

@wdjstraw: “We are the party of the NHS” Even Dan Hannan?

@DaveSemple Double entrendre of the week! RT @jockso “Don’t you dare lecture us on poverty, we f*cking invented it!”

AndyGHardwick Dave, whilst I’ve still got you. Is this speech just a long introduction of the cabinet??

RT @sam_elliot Hulk angry, Hulk smash, Hulk cut inheritance tax for richest.

@DuncanStott: “You should not live off the work of others”. Now these inheritance tax cuts…

@wilsondan I’m fairly certain that David Cameron and I live in different Britains

@wdjstraw Lab has not made the “poorest poorer”. It’s simply not true as IFS have shown

@BelfastGonzo Cameron somewhat struggles to sound inspiring. Now he’s going very ‘family values’. Should appeal to many. Good news on Surestart.

@ricjgreen Methinks that for the cameron narrative to work, we’re going to have to burn all history books covering time before 97

@BristolRed Can’t believe Cameron is using family, community, country- Very close to Vichy France’s Travail, Familie et Patrie!

@mbeevor William “24 hours to save the pound” Hague is hardly the man I want representing us in Europe!
