The times they are a'changing...

TB never thought the day would come when IPPR, New Labour's favourite think tank, would be ingratiating themselves so obviously with the Conservatives. Clearly more switched on than the Labour Party grassroots, IPPR are playing footsie with Conservative Future:

"To open up the debate, ippr and Conservative Future are asking party activists for their ideas and opinions on how politics needs to change and the big issues facing the party and country. We will put your views directly to the politicians at our events. We feel this is particularly important in a climate where political trust has been badly battered. So we need to bring people into the heart of the debate. In this instance that means party members and others, not just the people who usually attend conference or the people on our panel. We want to include your views directly in the discussion."
