Hearing Cameron joke, in PMQs, that Labour would airbrush Gordon Brown out of their election campaign, I couldn’t help but think of Labour’s 1997 manifesto. As you can see to the left, it proudly featured Tony Blair’s face (and not much else) on its cover.
So: what chances that Labour use Brown’s face on the front of this year’s manifesto? And, more importantly, how long before someone makes a spoof version of the 1997 cover with an image of the current Labour leader?
