Nick Clegg delivers his speech to the Lib Dem conference

Nick Clegg's speech to the Liberal Democrat party conference this afternoon established why only the Liberal Democrats can offer a real alternative to the failing Labour government.

Pointing out that the Conservatives do not offer real change, Nick Clegg said:

"A never-ending cycle of red-blue, blue-red government has got us into this mess - it is never going to get us out."

Nick said the party should be proud of their progressive policies and enduring liberal values:

"Let us say it loud and clear.

"We are the only party who will put money into people's pockets with fair tax cuts.

"The only party to offer universal childcare and smaller classes in our primary schools.

"The only party who would use Gordon Brown's wasted billions to create thousands of jobs today by investing in homes, hospitals, schools and public transport to build the green economy of tomorrow.

"The only party that will rebuild the jobs, homes and hopes this recession has destroyed.

"If you feel let down by Labour, and see that the Conservatives will never be a party of change.

"Turn to the Liberal Democrats.

"We carry the torch of progress now."
