Review of the Conservative Party conference

Last week's Tory conference was largely overshadowed by the row between Ed Milliband and the Daily Mail. David Cameron's big party conference speech had few surprises in there. 

What stood out for me was potential policy of withdrawing Jobs Seekers Allowance to men and women under the age of twenty five. 

Already there are million people under the age of twenty five who are currently unemployed. It sounds like a very quick fix solution to say that withdrawing benefits will make them find work. 

David Cameron has lurched further to the right of his party and only time will tell if it is really what the British people want.
