Gordon lends the Tories a helping hand
Nadine Dorries 5:31pm
This is such a good week. Commentators have said that Gordon has taunted us into announcing policies that we would have preferred to leave until later in the electoral cycle, whenever that may be. If he has, then he has done us a favour.
Surely electoral success owes a great deal to getting the message out in a clear, strong, simple and repetitive manner. The electorate need to understand who and what they are voting for.
Following the slam dunk announcements made by George today to scrap stamp duty for first time buyers up to £250,000 and to the level at which inheritance tax is paid to £1million, we can now once again sell ourselves as the party of lower taxes.
We should sell that message over and over and if Brown bottles out of an early election, we have that much more time to get that message into peoples homes, over and over again. Cheers Gordon.

Where are the key announcements on how we are going to send children out of school able to read, write and add up, announcements on a consumer led NHS, announcements on fair and decent treatment for our armed forces personnel and how we intened to lower the £130bn social security (to use non-PC terminology) bill and get people back to work or at least make them do something for the community for the benefit they take. I know of few people who would argue against these policies and Labour are weak on all of them
