Cameron hits Brown hard

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.
