Meet the new boss same as the old boss

According to Iain Macwhirter,writing in the New Statesman,life under the Tories will be similar to that under Gordon Brown

The really dangerous question is whether, if the Cameron Tories took over, any- one would notice. Brown has been so assiduous in stealing Conservative themes and policies - on everything from inheritance tax to immigration - that voters might find the real thing rather more agreeable

But what might the differences be.

1.The Tories will adopt a raft of green-sounding measures, on renewables and carbon trading, while relying on Brown's new nuclear power stations to keep the lights burning, and freezing fuel duty and taxes on big cars.

2.The more oppressive aspects of Labour's bureaucratic culture would be dismantled - the target obsession in the NHS, the neurotic performance testing of children, the intrusive vetting of Scout leaders and care workers.

and the final twist he predicts

that one of the first things Prime Minister Cameron will do on entering N0 10 is invite one Tony Blair to tea to offer him a new advisory role in public sector reform.
