CCHQ has just released a very good briefing on how Labour is lurching to the left. The briefing (a pdf of which is here) notes how Labour is giving more and more favours to their union paymasters (also see The Times).
It also details 'lurches to the left' including higher taxes, ending of
the fiscal rules, nationalising Northern Rock, the Agency Workers
Directive and restricting the freedom of Academy schools.
This substantive criticism of Brown is the right way to go forward. For the reasons highlighted by Nadine Dorries MP we must avoid personal attacks on Brown.
Seems sensible really, personal attacks are never nice and Gordon Brown seems to be doing a good job of destroying himself anyway!

If you want to see the truly ugly face of over-powerful Trade Unionism you have only to look at Bob Crow!

I agree with Dorries and her daughter. Avoid personal attacks completely - it's out of order. Brown may be a bad PM and a bad chancellor, but unlike Blair he's fundamentally a decent man - just a decent man in the wrong job.
For the good of the country, though, he should be gone ASAP.
