Not liberal:

• Cameron would scrap the Human Rights Act
• Cameron voted to retain Section 28
• ‘Liberal’ is still a term of abuse for the Tories – frontbencher Jeremy Hunt recently attacked the BBC for having a ‘liberal bias’

Not progressive

• Cameron would cut taxes for millionaires – at a cost to the country of £4.4bn – while doing nothing to help low earners
• 40% of children in poverty live in one-parent households, yet the Tories’ tax credit reform proposals will only help couples while doing nothing for single parents

Not fit for Government

• Economically illiterate – Cameron and Osborne would cut before, not after an economic recovery, risking plunging UK back into recession
• Fiscally incompetent – six unfunded pledges leave a black hole of £53bn in Tory plans according to Treasury estimates; by contrast, Cameron’s recent ‘salad’ speech on cutting costs set out just £120m of savings
• Cameron’s foreign policy would leave the UK isolated on the lunatic fringe of Europe, less safe from terrorism and international crime
• Cameron’s claim he will fix broken politics rings hollow in the light of his refusal to punish George Osborne for ‘flipping’ his second home, a move by which the Shadow Chancellor made himself £55,000
