Local government: The cynical approach to spending cuts
David Davis previews the forthcoming 'Future of Conservatism' book that he is editing and which ConservativeHome is publishing
"We cannot afford taxes that penalise effort, energy, and innovation, and which drive away entrepreneurs and capital. The argument over the 50 per cent tax rate, which punishes talent and effort, is just the tip of the iceberg. Capital gains tax and corporation taxes have similarly depressive effects on savings and investment. Neither can we afford massively expensive environmental policies which have serious consequences for economic growth but uncertain impact on global greenhouse gases." – David Davis writing in the Daily Mail
James Chapman, Political Editor of the Daily Mail, previews the 26 chapters of the book.
Boris Johnson calls for massive investment to renew the nation's Victorian infrastructure
"We can’t afford to keep muddling along and relying on historic investment. On sewers, rail, river crossings, ports and airports it is time for neo-Victorian boldness.

However, it is in the meadows and copses of England that Mr Cameron may meet his Waterloo."

TUC leader will begin annual conference with attack on spending cuts as cruel and unfairly targeted – Independent
"Puffed up with the hot air from their own fatuous rhetoric TUC bosses will spend the next few days denouncing the Tory-led coalition, issuing lurid threats of industrial action and indulging in synthetic outrage over invented grievances. In reality the gap is wider because 90 per cent of state workers receive generous final salary pension schemes underwritten by tax- payers, whereas such schemes have largely been phased out in the private sector." – Leo McKinstry in the Express

IFS predicts 10% cut in average family's living standards – Guardian
Yvette Cooper warns that elected police chiefs will cost the equivalent of 3,000 police officers
Cooper's anti-police chiefs campaign is a straight copy of the No2AV campaign
"Elections, transition costs and 40 new politicians on £120,000 a year would cost well over £100m – the equivalent of 3,000 police constables. The public rightly don't believe a few elected police chiefs will be better than thousands of police officers at cutting crime, so to make this a priority shows how out of touch on law and order the government has become." – Yvette Cooper in The Guardian
