David Cameron really is attempting to revolutionise his party and perceptions of it. He is now saying that the Conservatives are a party for all. As well as making it clear that his party is welcoming of people of colour, he also extended a hand of welcome to the gay community - something unthinkable of the old Conservatives who opposed equality and introduced the dreadful Section 28.
He says: "We are a one nation party. Whether you are black or white, rich or poor, from the north or south, straight or gay, you are part of our country and we are proud of you."
Meanwhile, a deservedly jubilant UKIP leader Nigel Farage has thrown out a similarly inclusive invitation. He says: "UKIP hopes to build even further on the 17% of the national vote that we received and encourages everyone, from all backgrounds and walks of life to become supporters of our party."
The Talking Clock wholeheartedly congratulates UKIP on their success.
The Liberal Democrats have nothing new to say today. We did check.
The Green Party is celebrating being popular in - surprise, surprise - Brighton.
And, in case you were interested, the BNP are also celebrating but also outlining why they think the British public are victims of the LibLabCon.
