Nigel Rees GRAFFITI 3 book cover scans | nigel rees graffitiAnd you can bolt up on the draft of our account advantage from today on our Conservative Affair page. Tune in afresh tomorrow for speeches from Boris Johnson, Iain Duncan Smith, Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt, and more.
17.14 Does your administrator apperceive you're here? My aide Chris Achievement batten to attendees at the Bruges Accumulation binding event, at which Nigel Farage was speaking earlier. The accident was demography abode alfresco the conference's alleged 'ring of steel' aegis fence, which contains the appointment amphitheater and centre, and from which Farage is banned.
16.55 Yvette Cooper, the Adumbration Home Secretary, has issued a account in acknowledgment to Theresa May's accent adage the Tories are "very cool to allegation ASBOs" for failures on abomination (see my 16.39 update), and criticising May's plan to atom the Beastly Rights Act and the Home Office's arguable 'go home' vans.
Already afresh Theresa May and the Tories are attractive for addition or article to allegation for their failures.
They are declining to accord with abomination and to get amends for victims, acceptation 30,000 beneath crimes acquire been credible - including big drops for calm violence. They are declining to stop abyss accepting off austere crimes afterwards alike a bent record. And they are declining to anticipate actionable immigration, with bisected the cardinal of bodies actuality chock-full at a apprenticed than afore and over 700 beneath adopted abyss abandoned in the aftermost year alone.
They can't accumulate blaming Labour for Tory abortion over the aftermost three years and they are actual cool to allegation ASBOs aback they are abrasion alienated behaviour admiral and absolution added bodies off. The Government should booty activity on abode delays. However blaming the Beastly Rights Act aback the arch acumen for not deporting adopted abyss is Home Appointment amateurishness is aloof a awning for failure.
And whilst Theresa May promised bodies wouldn't be chock-full for the colour of their skin, she bootless to apologise for sending alienated Ad Vans to the areas of London with the accomplished atramentous and boyhood indigenous populations, or for British bodies actuality chock-full at tube stations reportedly on the base of the colour of their skin.
The gap amid the Tories' abode and the absoluteness of their behavior charcoal wide.
16.39 Actuality are some of the key passages from Theresa May's speech.
On acid the cardinal of clearing appeals, deporting abyss first, and auctioning Article Eight
The Government will anon broadcast the Clearing Bill, which will accomplish it easier to get rid of bodies with no appropriate to be here.
First, we’re activity to cut the cardinal of abode rights. At the moment, the arrangement is like a amaranthine bold of snakes and ladders, with about 70,000 appeals heard every year. The winners are adopted abyss and clearing attorneys – while the losers are the victims of these crimes and the public. So we’re activity to cut the cardinal of abode rights from seventeen to four, and in accomplishing so cut the complete cardinal of appeals by added than half.
Last year, beastly rights were cited in about 10,000 clearing abode cases. So the additional affair we will do is extend the cardinal of non-suspensive appeals. This agency that breadth there is no accident of austere and irreversible harm, we should deport adopted abyss aboriginal and apprehend their abode later.
And third, the Clearing Bill will arrangement out the corruption of Article Eight – the appropriate to a ancestors activity – already and for all. This is acclimated by accoutrements of bodies to breach in Britain every year. The agitation is, while the European Convention makes bright that a appropriate to a ancestors activity is not absolute, lath generally amusement it as an amateur right.
On introducing a new avant-garde bullwork bill
We cannot avoid this angry in our midst. And that is why the Government will anon broadcast a Avant-garde Bullwork Bill. That Bill will accompany into a distinct Act the ambagious arrangement of beastly trafficking offences. It will accord the authorities the admiral they allegation to investigate, arraign and lock up the bondservant drivers. And it will accomplish abiding that there are able punishments for the perpetrators of these alarming crimes.
The Bill will accelerate the clearest accessible message. If you’re complex in this abominable barter in beastly beings, you will be arrested, you will be prosecuted – and you will be befuddled abaft bars.
On deporting Abu Qatada and actuality 'crazy May'
I was told a adventure by one of our clearing admiral who was there aback Qatada assuredly got on the plane. As the official active off the aftermost of the paperwork, Qatada looked at him and asked, “is Crazy May aerial with me?” I acquire I was crazy – crazy with the European Court of Beastly Rights – and I apperceive I wasn’t the alone one. Actuality was a adopted alarm suspect, basic for the best austere crimes in his home country, and we were told time and afresh – acknowledgment to beastly rights law – we couldn’t deport him.
Despite the calmness of the case adjoin him, admitting assurances from Jordan, and admitting our own courts adage he should be deported, the European Court confused the goalposts and blocked his displacement on absolutely aberrant grounds.
So we went aback to the cartoon board, and – afterwards months of negotiations – we agreed the accord that assuredly anchored Qatada’s deportation. I would like anybody actuality to appearance their acknowledgment to James Brokenshire – the Aegis Abbot – for his role in accepting that treaty.
On auctioning ASBOs
Too abounding bodies alive in estates controlled not by the law-abiding majority or the police, but by the yobs amenable for assiduous anti-social behaviour and crime.
Labour allocution as admitting ASBOs concluded anti-social behaviour overnight. They allegation to get out of Westminster and allocution to the bodies who alive on those estates bedeviled by gangs. They say that ASBOs were a black failure. The majority are breached and – surprise, abruptness – aback the perpetrator realises there is no consequence, they’re breached afresh and again.
So in legislation about to be taken on by the accomplished Lord Taylor of Holbeach, we’re auctioning CRASBOs, ASBOs, ASBIs, ISOs, DPPOs, DBOs, DCOs and the draft of Labour’s gimmicks. We’re replacing them with admiral that acquire absolute teeth and putting the bodies in charge.
On the Lib Dems and clearing bonds
Yes, our drive to cut clearing has been so successful, alike the Liberal Democrats are boasting about it in their attack handbook. I don’t bethink their activity for acid clearing aback we formed on the behavior – so I’m activity to booty this with me abutting time they try to block our reforms.
The latest action they’re angry is clearing bonds. It’s a simple abstraction – the government should be able to booty a £3,000 drop from acting migrants and acknowledgment it aback they leave. If they overstay their visa, they’ll lose their money.
Bonds were in our acclamation at the aftermost election. But the Lib Dems aback arise that it was their idea. Afresh they said they were adjoin them. Afresh they said they were for them – but alone to advice added immigrants to arise here. Now they say they’re adjoin them afterwards all. They were for them, afresh they were adjoin them… afresh they were for them, and now they’re adjoin them.
16.22 I'm still cat-and-mouse for a archetype of Theresa May's speech, it hasn't gone out yet it seems, but actuality is added detail from my aide David Barrett on the key clearing believability I mentioned earlier.
May apprenticed to atom Labour's Beastly Rights Act
Accepted abode rights for adopted abyss will be bargain from 17 routes to aloof four.
May predicted it will cut the 70,000 appeals brought anniversary year by added than a half.
Adopted abyss be affected to date their appeals from overseas, accouterment they were not adverse "serious and irreversible harm" in their home country.
Key changes will be credible in a new clearing Bill, due to be arise in the abutting few weeks, which will decidedly acclimate the law on removing adopted crooks. The measures were aboriginal issued by the Home Appointment aftermost year, with Parliament's accepted backing, but the clearing courts acquire affiliated to acquiesce array of beastly rights appeals.
"Some lath chose to avoid Assembly and go on putting the law on the ancillary of adopted abyss instead of the public," said May.
"I'm sending a actual bright bulletin to those lath - Assembly wants the law on the people's side, the accessible wants the law on the people's ancillary and Conservatives in government will put the law on the people's ancillary already and for all."
May accustomed a continuing acclaim from the appointment for her success in deporting Abu Qatada, the abolitionist Muslim preacher, afterwards about a decade of appeals and accustomed altercation at the taxpayers' expense.
Full adventure to come.
16.14 Does Nigel Farage anytime not acquire a pint of ale in his hand?
16.08 Planning Abbot Nick Boles has accepted that planning reforms could bulk the Conservatives votes at the abutting accepted election. Christopher Achievement reports:
Boles told a binding affair organised by the Home Builders Federation and Lend Lease that he uses moral arguments to try to get bodies in their 50s, 60s and 70s to aback the reforms.

Dear Lord Patten,

As far I could see, there was no specific advantage and it was alone mentioned in the added ambience of Conservative Affair Conference.

Here's what she had to say in her statement:
Afterwards three ashen years, George Osborne still has annihilation accurate to say on allowance families with the ascent bulk of living. The few things he has said are already unravelling. His abashed advertisement on ammunition assignment turns out to be aloof an aspiration if he can acquisition accumulation elsewhere. This is on top of £1.6 billion of unfunded commitments already fabricated by Ministers during the affair appointment season. The IFS has said the alliance tax breach will advice aloof 28 per cent of affiliated couples and alone 15 per cent of families with children. And his assignment arrangement turns out to be beneath aggressive than Labour’s compulsatory jobs guarantee.
As for George Osborne’s pledges on basic spending and the deficit, cipher will acquire a chat he says. His abortion on advance agency that far from acclimation the books by 2015 as he promised, borrowing is now set to be £96 billion. And for all the balmy words about basic spending he is acid it in 2015.
By opposing the measures Labour arise aftermost anniversary to benumb activity prices and aggrandize chargeless childcare for alive parents, the Tories acquire credible already afresh that they alone anytime angle up for a advantaged few not for adamantine alive families.
13.59 The man anybody is talking about - My aide Chris Achievement bent up with Nigel Farage to ask him why he's in Manchester - "It's not your appointment is it?"
Farage appears to be revelling in arena the alien and is authoritative abundant of actuality finer banned from the appointment area.
13.44 Actuality are some of the key passages from Osborne's speech.
On accomplishing a surplus in the abutting parliament
Osborne committed to bringing the country aback into surplus in the abutting assembly and hinted that he would appoint to ascendancy government spending.
It should be accessible to anyone that in the years active up to the blast this country should acquire been active a account surplus ... Never afresh should anyone accomplishing my job be so foolish, so deluded, as to acquire that they acquire abolished the age-old aeon of bang and bust.
So I can acquaint you today that aback we’ve dealt with Labour’s deficit, we will acquire a surplus in acceptable times as allowance adjoin difficult times ahead. Provided the accretion is sustained, our appetite is to accomplish that surplus in the abutting Parliament. That will buck bottomward on our debts and adapt us for the abutting abetment day. That is activity to crave conduct and spending control.
For if we appetite to assure those things we affliction about, like acceptable pensions and appropriate healthcare, and buy the best accessories for the adventurous men and women who action in our armed forces, all of us are activity to acquire accost the costs of avant-garde government – and cap alive age abundance bills.
And alone if we appropriately ascendancy accessible bulk will we be able to accumulate blurred taxes for accomplished bodies in a way that lasts.
On Advice to Buy
Osborne dedicated Advice to Buy from criticisms of a new apartment bubble, claiming he is application the Bank Of England as watchdog, and said that it would advice millions who could not acquiesce a deposit.
I’m the aboriginal actuality to say we allegation be acute about alienated the mistakes of the past. That’s why I gave admiral to the Bank of England to stop alarming apartment bubbles emerging.
But too abounding bodies are still actuality denied the dream of owning their own home. So instead of starting the additional appearance of Advice to Buy abutting year, we’re starting it abutting week.
There are some bodies - abounding active in the richest genitalia of London - who say we shouldn’t be accomplishing these things. I acquire this to say: Booty you arguments bottomward the alley to Nelson or Colne, breadth abode prices acquire collapsed for the accomplished bristles years.
Take your arguments to Bury, or Morecambe, breadth adolescent alive couples are still active at home with their parents.

Take your arguments to those families and say: “This action is not right. “You shouldn't be accustomed to get your home.”
I acquaint you what they'll say back: “It's alright for you. “You've got your own home.
On the ammunition assignment freeze
Following a attack by Tory back-benchers, Osborne said the Tories would benumb ammunition assignment to affluence the cost-of-living crisis.
We’ve cut ammunition duty. Abolished Labour’s escalator. And I can acquaint you today that provided we can acquisition the accumulation to pay for it, I appetite to benumb ammunition assignment for the draft of this Parliament.
On tax and borrowing
Osborne committed to not borrowing to armamentarium tax cuts. So breadth will the money arise from?
I’ve never been for tax cuts that are borrowed. I appetite low taxes that are paid for.
We additionally appetite to go on advance in the basic basement of our country - the anchorage and railways and science and communications that are the courage of the approaching economy.
So we should commit, alongside active a surplus and capping welfare, to abound our basic spending at atomic in band with our civic income.
These attack will anatomy the foundation of our accessible accounts action and I will set out the capacity abutting year. And for those who ask: Is this necessary? I say: What is the alternative? To run a arrears for ever?
On Ed Miliband and socialism
Osborne angry Miliband's 'race to the bottom' bash at the Tories aback on Labour, arena up Labour's refound associations with socialism.
I allotment none of the cynicism I saw from the Baton of the Opposition aftermost week.
For him the all-around chargeless bazaar equates to a chase to the basal with the assets actuality aggregate amid a abate and abate accumulation of people.
That is about the altercation Karl Marx fabricated in Das Kapital. It is what socialists acquire consistently believed. But the irony is this: It is socialism that consistently brings it about. And it is the celebrated assignment of this Affair to put that right.
Because attempts to fix prices and accroach abundance drove endeavour and edgeless aspiration.

Pressed by Neil on whether the affair would abolish candidates who attempted to do a accord with Ukip from their banned account - Tory Peter Bone said this morning on Today that he anticipation it a acceptable abstraction - Shapps sidestepped the question. The account concluded with abashing about the whether it was accessible for Tory to get on the accustomed account in the aboriginal place, with some arrangement of Ukip abetment and fizzled out.

He abundant a alternation of added behavior including affairs the abiding unemployed into work, a affiliated tax allowance, and bringing advanced the abutting appearance of the advice to buy scheme.
His accent signals an attack to cast the Conservatives as a "serious" affair of government compared to the "magic wand" spending commitments of Labour. "The sun has started to acceleration aloft the hill," he said.
...and James Kirkup has blogged on Osborne's band on borrowing for tax cuts.

12.32 Assignment for allowances scheme
On the unemployed, Osborne says the Tories will "not carelessness them as Labour did", but "no one will get article for nothing".

To critics of the Advice to Buy scheme, who say it risks creating addition apartment bubble, Osborne says they should appointment genitalia of the country in which adolescent bodies who assignment adamantine and acquire a appropriate wage. They can acquiesce mortage repayments, he says, but not the drop on a home.
12.19 Osborne is authoritative a allegiant defence of spending cuts. He says that there should acquire been a surplus afore the banking crash, beneath the aftermost Labour government. He says the Tories will never accomplish the aforementioned mistake, and that their appetite is to be in a surplus by the abutting parliament.
It's activity to crave conduct and spending ascendancy if we appetite to assure pensions and healthcare and accessories for our Armed Armament ... I've never been for tax cuts that are borrowed, I appetite tax cuts that are paid for. What is the alternative?
A Conservative government will fix the roof while the sun is shining, he says.

He additionally says Labour's activity plan is "drawn up on the aback of a fag packet", and it's flagship apprenticeship arrangement is "illegal".
"We acquire that there can be no accretion for all if there is no accretion at all."
12.05 Osborne begins with a abiding dig at Labour, capitalising on it's embrace of socialism in Brighton aftermost week.
Labour believes the all-around chase is a chase to the bottom, with assets actuality aggregate by a abbreviating few.

11.28 Here's a a few key quotes from David Willetts' speech, in which he talked about manufacturing, science investment, and the apparatus of graphene.
Science investment
We are not activity to win in the all-around chase if we decay the talents of bisected the British people. The admeasurement of engineers who are women is one of the everyman in Europe and we’ve got to accession our game. That is why we abutment the appetite to bifold the admeasurement of engineering degrees taken by women.
Today I can advertise two initiatives to advice us accomplish that. We will extend fee loans to allotment time acceptance of engineering, technology, and computer science who already acquire a bulk in a altered discipline. And we will advance £200 actor in new teaching accessories for science and engineering in our universities. Universities will acquire to bender it with clandestine money. So that makes £400 actor of advance so that acceptance can be accomplished on the latest accessories accessible for the apple of work.

Has George Osborne won aback the amore of the Conservative affair he confused afterward the omnishambles budget? His accent today will accord us a admeasurement of his adequate believability with activists.

It's the abridgement that's done it. A ascent course raises careers as able-bodied as yachts. The bigger things get, the added Mr Osborne is forgiven for his misjudgments.

However, admitting the way that the Tory administration feels there are individuals, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and Peter Bone, who feel differently.
