Eddie Barnes: Brown's last stand
GORDON Brown has just arrived in Brighton for the last Labour conference before the general election, and he brings with him a new secret weapon in his bid to beat David Cameron at the next General Election. The secret weapon is called....David Cameron.
Having spoken to Labour contacts today, it appears the entire aim of this conference is to try and shift all the attention away from Brown and instead focus it firmly onto the Conservative leadership. Yes, there will be plenty on the plans Labour has for its next term in office but the main aim will be to put a rocket up the Tories. The message will be along the lines of "you think we're bad? Just wait until the next lot get in." Crucially, this has the advantage of uniting the fractious party faithful, seeing as hating Tories is just about the only thing they can agree on any more. So focussed is the attack that even Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy, whose day job up till now has been to shadow the SNP administration, will devote his entire speech on Monday to the Conservative threat. Those on cliche-watch this week should look out for the phrase "elections aren't referendums, they are choices". Count the number of times you hear it.

It's time we given the 'choice' to boot out this shower of shiite.
Murphy didn't mention the SNP, but introduced grey Gray, who spoke only about Alec Salmond. "The SNP have failed to reduce class sizes". A lie. And another. "In MY Scotland, the Brandon Muir tragedy would not have happened". How low can you go?
This heavily rhetorical speech, full of venom and vitriol, personal hatred and bellitlement of Salmond, as well as half truths and lies. And really, with the exception of independence, the ideology of the two parties is not that far apart.
It's after hearing rubbish like this that I know I will never vote for the Labour Party ever again.
