I wish I could believe him but I don't. They've been talking about this for decades; it never materialises,and if anything, they just keep on pushing policies that do the opposite and favour privilege. Saying all the right things but I don't think there's any intention to make it happen.
But they picked up Labour Voters today

The BBC called it his Blair Type Speech

Yes, I'm sure they did pick some up. The gullible ones with short memories.

No one will have a short memory in 5 years time, though Cameron won't care as he is out, it will be down to Boris to get the Tory's reelected.

Hi Cherie.
All powers that be I hope not, the man is a buffoon,
If the Conservatives fail to choose someone more like Michael Gove then they will deserve to be out for ages in my view.

The likes of Boris, George Osborne and the worst of the lot Theresa May don't bear thinking about for me.

He is but he can rub some Conservatives up the wrong way, he is seen as a liability more than an asset by some of them.
He isn't likely going to help get back voters from UKIP or the Greens.
