When the Sun turns on you

A while ago I explained the importance of the Sun newspaper and Rupert Murdoch's support and how when the full power of The Sun was turned against Gordon Brown that you would know "time was up". Today I read Trevor Kavanagh writing that

"The PM stands revealed as an insecure bully who relies on ruthless and unscrupulous henchmen to poison his rivals.... “We’re down to 26 per cent, but there is nothing to stop it going lower,” said an ex-Cabinet minister. “We are in freefall.

“People accused Tony of telling lies but Gordon is the biggest liar in modern politics. "

Trevor Kavanagh calls for Alistair Darling to do something:

"The Chancellor is no assassin. But he has it in his power to do something for the Government and for Britain.

And as he struggles to make his Budget numbers add up, he knows where the blame lies.

He was landed with an economy in crisis, borrowing out of control and nothing in the kitty to pay the bills.

Huge sums of precious cash have been squandered.

Painful cuts will have to be made — including to the sacred NHS.

It would be an act of vandalism to leave this mess to fester for another year.

As Shadow Chancellor George Osborne points out, these will not be Tory cuts.

The debts have been left by Gordon Brown.

Any savings required to clear them will be Gordon Brown’s cuts — whoever is in power. "

I don't believe that Alistair Darling has the integrity or bravery of Geoffrey Howe. Alistair Darling will continue to do his master's bidding and take this Country into a full economic collapse.
