David Cameron is coming back (which is more than we can say for Piers Morgan). The leader of the opposition will be logging on from The Tory party's spring forum in Gateshead this Friday pm, at 3.30. Come along and pose him a question about an issue relevant to you, or if you can't make it on the day, you can post advance questions here.
Best,
MNHQ

He's having some tea and lemon drizzle cake with Justine I reckon!

Or can't log on because the ads are blocking up active convos!

Do you think that child benefit should be means tested? I have friends on salaries perhaps larger than yours for whom that little bit of money makes no difference, whereas there are thousands of families struggling who recieve the same amount.

very quiet for a politician....

JustineMumsnet · 14/03/2008 15:40

He's typing for goodness sake. Patience please - isn't this what we always tell the children?

RTKangaDYSONMummy · 14/03/2008 15:40

tortoiseSHELL · 14/03/2008 15:41

But we want him NOOOOOW Justine.

PrincessPeaHead · 14/03/2008 15:41

Poor Dave.
Do you think all children should be taught to type with more than 2 fingers

Tinker · 14/03/2008 15:41

Is he a one-fingered pecker?

needmorecoffee · 14/03/2008 15:41

Dave, under tories, would wheelchair services be able to get a child a wheelchair withina year. Do they expect you to lug round a child with CP and epilepsy in a wheelcbarrow while you wait?

DEar DAvid

Have you been a lurker here before - and if no will you be again? We are better than any focus group!

Tinker · 14/03/2008 15:43

But despite that winniethewino, he chose to join that party.

tatt · 14/03/2008 15:44

sorry about the caps

needmorecoffee · 14/03/2008 15:44

dave, will conservatives revamp the education system? GCSE's are now so easy I actually laughed when I saw the Science paper. At parents evening

GryffinGirl · 14/03/2008 15:44

what about a hug, Dave?

Lulumama · 14/03/2008 15:45

can't help feeling we should be a teeny bit more respectful/welcoming than nest of viperish or we won;t get anymore politicians to argue listen on here!

davidtennantsmistress · 14/03/2008 15:45

Dear dave.. we have high taxes, high costs of living with food, rents/mortgages, energy bills. and yet the wages don't seem to be going up at anywhere near the same rate. As a lone parent (not my choice I might add) it's hard as is for lots of low income families.

how will the conservatives help to bridge the gap between it for those in need.

DavidCameron · 14/03/2008 15:45

TO Rowlers
On MAternity the first thing we would do is have a moratorium on the closure of consultant led maternity units. I think the evidence for saying that we need much larger maternity units is not proven and we should stiop and think again.

To Avenanap
We need a big change in terms of SEN. First up, we should put a stop to special school closures - and then reform the law. I think that at the moment the system is biased against special schools and some parents and children are being pushed into mainstream schools when it is not appropriate. Parents should have a genuine choice between special and mainstream schools.

TO Lalaa
On flexible working I don't think it is a cop out to say, as we have done, that we woukld extend the right to request flexible working to all parents with children under 18. THis would be a big breakthrough - and the figures seem to show that firms who have adopted the right to request grant it in 90 per cent of cases.

IT paper is so easy even a 2 fingered typist could pass it
