Cameron hits Brown hard

James Forsyth 10:33pm

David Cameron takes a decidedly more aggressive tone in a piece he has written for tomorrow’s Sunday Times than he did on TV earlier. He writes,

“what will now be remembered is farcical weeks of secret briefings, hurried policy announcements and, most shamefully of all, the exploitation of the British troops in Iraq for party political ends.”
The Iraq trip really was where everything started to go horribly wrong for Brown. It looked crass and calculating and showed just how far he was prepared to go for party advantage. It is doubtful whether after the last week Brown can rebuild the level of public trust that he enjoyed in the first few months of his tenure at No. 10.

WE know what Dave and the Ming think, any hack yet got a comment (or captured a smirk) from Anthony Blair? His only problem will be not being able to claim a hand in it.

The world's leaders have now discovered that Brown is weak & cowardly. This is deeply unsettling, especially for those of us who make our living in foreign parts.
