London, September 29: Gordon Brown will today make a final attempt to reconnect with Middle England by announcing a string of “tough love” measures to crack down on alcohol-fuelled crime and problem families who make their neighbours’ lives a misery.
In his speech to the Labour conference in Brighton, the Prime Minister will attempt to answer criticism that he is out of touch with ordinary people by saying that he understands their concerns about issues such as crime, antisocial behaviour and immigration.
It is also believed he will bow to pressure and agree to televised debates with the leaders of the two main opposition parties.
