David Cameron's speech was bit more positive than George Osborne's, but was still a bit downbeat. It was a good speech, but not great. Two years ago I was ecstatic, this time I'm merely impressed!
It was a personal speech, and he was obviously trying to look Prime Ministerial. I think he succeeded in that aim. He gave a broad brush of conservative values and there were no policy announcements, which is as expected.
So my verdict is 7 out of 10.
After all the conferences, George Osborne's speech stood out. It was extremely candid, and brave. But I don't think any speech will be seen as a game-changer.
Squiffy.
