...Because I want the Conservative Party to recover in every part of the United Kingdom and in Scotland we've been stuck in forth place and there's one reason why. Here we are in a prosperous city in Scotland, Aberdeen, with its amazing connections to the oil industry, a great boom down, yet the Conservative Party is still suffering from the pre-1997 trauma.

When his staff urged him to start his trip to Scotland early because of a forecast of gales, Cameron refused, insisting he had to put his children to bed.
