David Cameron hails ‘sweetest victory’ for Tories

David Cameron has praised aides and supporters for their role in “the sweetest victory” for the Conservative party in a generation.

A video of his victory speech inside Conservative HQ, obtained by The Spectator magazine, shows him jubilant after a surprise night of gains for the Tories.

“I am not an old man, but I remember casting a vote in ’87 and that was a great victory,” he said. “I remember working just as you’ve been working in ’92 and that was an amazing victory.

“And I remember 2010, achieving that dream of getting Labour out and getting the Tories back in and that was amazing. But I think this is the sweetest victory of them all.”
