THE THIRD WAY KNOWS NO PARTY:

Brown welfare advisor embarrases PM by endorsing Cameron's tough proposals (JAMES CHAPMAN, 9th January 2008, Daily Mail)

David Cameron's radical "tough love" benefit reforms were dramatically endorsed last night - by Gordon Brown's chief welfare adviser.

David Freud praised the Tory leader's commitment to bring in private firms and charities to run draconian back-to-work schemes and pay by results.

He said the measures could bring "huge gains" and save as much as £10billion a year within a decade.

The policies are the same, it's just a matter of who enunciates them first.
