David Cameron has launched another raid into Labour's natural territory by hailing the Conservatives as the "true progressives" of British politics. Writing in The Independent, the Tory leader is seeking to exploit Gordon Brown's continuing problems over his abolition of the 10p tax rate by arguing that Labour's top-down solutions have failed on poverty, social mobility, welfare, education, the economy and the environment.In a pitch for centre-left voters following his party's victory in last week's local and London elections, Mr Cameron says: "If you care about poverty, if you care about inequality, if you care about the environment - forget about the Labour Party. It has forgotten about you. If you count yourself a progressive, a true progressive, only we can achieve real change."His words echo Neil Kinnock's searing attack on the Tory government at the 1983 general election, when he was Labour leader: "If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old."

If you care about poverty, if you care about inequality, if you care about the environment
Or rather "If you care about creating poverty, if you care about increasing inequality, if you care about the economic environment"
I don't mind the Tories when they're honest, as they mostly were under thatcher when they were quite brazen about screwing the majority of the population, but I simply cannot see how they can possibly be getting away with this fabrication. keep to the Fen Causeway
