The new line of attack

Guido has long been an exponent of the “Gordon Brown is insane” line of argument, which he argues is and should be the Conservatives’ main attack method between now and whenever the election is held. Sure enough, the latest Conservative party-political broadcast underlines the fact that the PM is now well and truly isolated where his irritating and hallucinatory “10%, Tory cuts, Labour spending” line is concerned (NB: bear in mind that god-awful Labour broadcast about how David Cameron winning the election would deprive hospitals of funding for cancer sufferers). The media don’t believe him, the public are no longer fooled, and even his own front bench have made their rejection of his mantra implicitly clear. And now Mervyn King has made it clear that the government needs to be honest about how drastic the necessary cuts will have to be. The election can’t come soon enough…
