1. If anyone is a clone, it is Tony Blair, a self-confessed admirer of Margaret Thatcher. Under his direction, the Labour Party abandoned socialism, and moved over to the right, before it came to power.
2. Once in power the Labour party continued Conservative policies - for example privatisation (the use of the costly Private Finance Initiative continued) and foreign war (the Tories had the Falklands and the first Gulf War, Labour had the invasions of Aghanistan and Iraq).
3. Furthemore the Labour Party's moral high ground was soon seen to be false, and more of the same Tory sleaze became the norm.
a) Receiving money for favours - cash for questions (Conservative), cash for peerages (Labour);
b) Ministers having affairs with secretaries - Cecil Parkinson (Conservative), Robin Cook (Labour),
c) Blatant liars hiding their transgressions - Lord Archer (Conservative), Peter Mandelson (Labour).
d) Unusual sexual practices - autoerotic asphyxiation (Stephen Milligan, Conservative MP for Eastleigh), cruising on Clapham Common (Ron Davies, Welsh Secretary and Labour MP for Caerphilly).
4. If current British politics seem indistinguishable in the eyes of the public, then don't blame the Tories, blame Tony and his cronies.

No.
By the way, David Cameron has never said "hug a hoodie". That's just hype in the popular press.
