David Cameron pledges to 'finish the job' in conference speech
  • 9 years ago
David Cameron has pledged to "finish the job we started" as he delivered his big Conservative conference speech.
Mr Cameron was given a standing ovation in the Manchester conference hall as attacked the new Labour leader, saying: "We cannot let that man inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on the country we love."
In his speech, Mr Cameron appealed to the centre ground of British politics, with a long section on equality, and said the Conservatives would "keep our head as Labour lose theirs".
Mr Cameron is already under pressure to water down controversial plans to offer the "right-to-buy" to housing association tenants currently passing through Parliament, amid claims it will hit those in housing need.
"When a generation of hard-working men and women in their 20s and 30s are waking up each morning in their childhood bedrooms - that should be a wake-up call for us," Mr Cameron said.
