Cameron Critical Of Labour In Closing Conference Speech
In his closing speech at the Tory party conference David Cameron has vowed "to get behind people who want to get on in life" to ensure Britain can "rise" again.
In his speech the prime minister admitted the economic recovery was taking longer than expected but he said Labour offered no credible alternative and the country could only weather the storm under his leadership.
He vowed to build an "aspiration nation" driven by individual ambition - the "doers, the risk-takers".
He also went on to take a swipe at "intellectuals" like Labour leader Ed Miliband - who last week attempted to seize the moderate "one-nation" mantle from the Conservatives.
"We don't preach about One Nation but practise class warfare, we get behind people who want to get on in life," he said.
Adding that Labour was a "party of one notion: more borrowing".
