A weekend of sustained attack on Brown

With bad polls, disastrous local election predictions and rumours of Reid planning to stand for the leadership contest (someone certainly won’t get a seat at Brown’s table now), Brown is certainly having a bad weekend.

But to make matters worse someone has dug up some of Brown’s old published work from the 1970s.  The guide apparently informs the reader how to “scrouge off the state, con private firms and use and abuse the system”.  Certainly little has change..now most of us legally rely scrouge off the welfare state.

Better news for Brown in the Indy poll

Wednesday’s Indy poll is interesting reading. It reduces the Tories lead from 11 points last month to 4 points. This is the first poll which really takes onboard last weeks budget. Although the Times came out with a poll last week, it really takes a while for the potential effects of the budget to filter through. Perhaps its not looking that bad for Brown.

Brown worried by polls, goes to Toyota plant tomorrow

Gordon is worried by those polls last week. To counter, the Brown camp released a poll by Opinion Poll research of 100 “opinion makers” which shows Cameron lacks substance.

To demonstrate how substantial he is, Brown is to visit a Toyota plant in Derby tomorrow.

It’s the economy - stupid!

Today’s Telegraph/YouGov poll certainly supports what we saw in the Guardian poll on Wednesday - 29% would prefer Cameron, to 24% for Brown. But what is certainly the most worrying thing for Brown is that the voters are beginning to distrust Labour over the economy - New Labour and Brown’s biggest asset. Interesting though, it seems that a lot of people (28%) are sceptical about either party’s ability to manage the economy.

Tomorrow’s Guardian will be worrying reading for Brown

The ICM poll in tomorrow’s Guardian gives the Tories a 13 point lead, when participants were asked to choose between a Brown or a Cameron government. This gives the Tories their highest lead since 1992.

The poll was conducted last weekend when Cameron was being criticised over his alleged drug habits at school. We know from Brown’s biography he never admitted taking drugs. Perhaps a toke wouldnt be a bad thing at this stage, it seems to do wonders with the voters.
