Kerry: Bush Wrong on Economy as Well as Iraq
From: NewsTrove.com
"Sat Oct 2, 2004 12:40 PM ET
ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry pivoted from the contentious debate over Iraq to bread-and-butter issues Saturday and accused President Bush of "serious misjudgments" on the economy as well as the war.
Two days after the presidential debate in Miami which many Americans thought he won, Kerry turned the same aggressive focus on Bush's "wrong choices" on Iraq to his domestic agenda and said the Republican president had turned his back on the middle class in favor of the wealthy and well-connected."
The Sun Newspaper Online - UK's biggest selling newspaper
From: NewsTrove.com
"THE state of the Tory party today is like that classic scene from Monty Python.
After seven years out of power, voters ask: What have the Tories ever done for us?
Apart from lowering taxes, curbing union abuses, creating a home-owning society and standing up to Europe, that is.
The fact is, people forget. And young voters never even knew.
That is why the latest poll shows only 19 per cent of voters are satisfied with Labour's record.
But only 29 per cent would vote Tory.
Does that mean the party is wasting its time in Bournemouth this week?
Not at all."

In his opening address to the party conference in Bournemouth, Dr Fox pledged that if there is a May election next year, the Tories will hold a snap EU referendum before the party's conference in September.
But he denied the Tories were committing a "lurch to the right" as he pledged that a Michael Howard government would be tough on crime, asylum, defence and taxation."

Oliver Letwin will today declare his mission to end "fat government" with a series of reforms of "unfair and overcomplicated" taxes - although he will stop short of making specific manifesto pledges.
In his afternoon address to the Bournemouth conference, the shadow chancellor will identify five "unfair" taxes, and three areas of taxation he regards as "overly complicated"."
Regional assemblies 'may add to council tax bills'
From: NewsTrove.com
"The future funding of regional assemblies is set to be investigated as part of a review of local government funding, it emerged today.
Until now, the government has insisted that only a small amount to help with the running of proposed regional assemblies would be raised via council tax, with the bulk of funding stumped up by central government from cash previously earmarked for unelected quangos whose responsibilities the new assemblies would assume."
