|
||
|
||
The Prime Minister's address to the Conservative Party conference will be
|
||
dominated by the bleak economic inheritance the Coalition has inherited from
|
||
Labour.
|
||
|
||
Mr Cameron will be keen to move the debate away from the controversial cuts to
|
||
benefits, including child benefit, that have so-fare dominated the party's
|
||
annual gathering in Birmingham.
|
||
|
||
Instead he will explain how the country will be turned around through sheer
|
||
hard work.
|
||
|
||
He will say: "It will be the doers and the grafters, the inventors and the
|
||
entrepreneurs who get this country going. Yes, it will be the wealth-creators
|
||
- and no, those aren't dirty words."
|
||
|
||
He will add: "I can't tell you how much I admire people who leave the comfort
|
||
of a regular wage to strike out on their own. I'll always remember what the
|
||
owner of a small business told me once.

"He said 'when I was starting out the government didn't lift a finger to help
|
||
me. Then as soon as I started making money they were all over me trying to
|
||
take it away.'
|
||
|
||
"That's completely the wrong way round. We need to get behind our wealth
|
||
creators."
|
||
|
||
That appeal to the "grafters" will be seen as an appeal to the skilled working
|
||
class voters who were often seen as the ones who helped sustain Margaret
|
||
Thatcher's governments in the 1980s.
|
||
|
||
Mr Cameron will talk up plans to encourage growth, including measures to scrap
|
||
red tape for business and a new green investment bank.
|
||
|
||
It will be the first conference speech by a Conservative prime minister since
|
||
John Major addressed his party 14 years ago.
|
||
|
||
But there has been a lack of euphoria among the Conservatives this week,
|
||
despite their return to power.
|
||
|
||
That has been put down to the fact that Mr Cameron failed to secure a majority
|
||
at the general election and was forced to seek a Coalition deal with the
|
||
Liberal Democrats.
|
||
|
||
The scale of the country's problems is also highlighted as a key factor for
|
||
the subdued, but determined demeanour of Mr Cameron and his senior colleagues.
|
||
|
||
The Prime Minister will also detail how deep Whitehall cuts will be when the
|
||
comprehensive spending review is revealed on 20 October.
|
||
|
||
He will tell activists: "Reducing spending will be difficult. There are
|
||
programme that will be cut. There are jobs that will be lost.
|
||
|
||
"There are things government does today that it will have to stop doing. Many
|
||
Government departments will have their budgets cut by on average 25 per cent
|
||
over four years. That's cut each year of around 7 per cent."
|
||
|
||
He will add: "Of course that is big. But let's remember, a lot of businesses
|
||
have had to make the same or bigger savings in recent years."
|
||
|
||
Downing Street aides said last night that Mr Cameron would deliver a highly
|
||
personal speech that will touch include a mention of his new baby daughter
|
||
Florence and it is expected a reference to his father who recently passed
|
||
away.
|
||
|
||
Mr Cameron's wife, Samantha, arrived in Birmingham last night, with baby
|
||
Florence.
|
||
|
||
The speech will not contain policy - a theme of Mr Cameron's conference
|
||
addresses - but it will attempt to set out the depth of the challenge facing
|
||
the Coalition to restore the nation's finances.
