Here’s Labour’s new campaign poster, ahead of Tory conference:

I still prefer ours though,  from earlier this year (although I would say that, wouldn’t I?)

All the best ideas come from the internet…

    Excellent poster.

  • aracataca

    Like it.

     Hmm. “NHS – cut” would work a bit better with some punctuation. This could work well though.

    Reminding people of the difference between the Tories in 2010 and the Tories now can’t hurt. They have massively swung to the right in both tone and substance, coalition aside.

    A reminder —- how much is the NHS budget this year? Last year? 2010?
    And what exactly is the level of cuts that have been put in place?
    Someone?
    Anyone?

    Very well played. 

    Cameron isn’t exactly a shine-free man to begin with, but the photo-shopping done here is pretty bad. He looks like a walking solar panel. I’m inclined to believe Caitlin Moran’s statement that he’s like a robot made of ham.

    At least tell me we’re not sticking this on a truck to drive around Birmingham? Has no one learnt from Ashcroft’s polling which shows attack ads dont work?

      Indeed. We all remember the Conservative Party posters that inspired this effort and how they helped the Tories win an outright majority at the last General Election.

         The reason why the spoof posters worked is that they wernt spoofed by a political party.

        • Brumanuensis

          Exactly. It’s a silly thing for us to do.

    ‘Same old Tories’ is better than ‘out of touch’. Because all politicians appear out of touch!

      I don’t subscribe to FT – how about an answer with figures please?

    From the first: “David Cameron has been accused of breaking his most significant pre-election promise, after it emerged spending on the NHS, after inflation, fell last year.Treasury figures show the NHS spent £102bn from April 2010-April 2011, almost all of which took place when the coalition took power. This marked a £750m real-term fall from the previous year, something Mr Cameron repeatedly promised would not happen. The coalition agreement promises: “We will guarantee that health spending increases in real terms in each year of the parliament.”

    The second illustrates the financial stress NHS trusts have come under, with 17 having to plan to cut services due to budgetary constraints.

    Aditya Chakraborty’s article is accessible and needs no elaboration, particularly on job cuts in the NHS – which have risen since his article was written.

    Miliband is off to speak to Google – but it’s not all about tax avoidance

    By Mark Ferguson

    Ed Miliband is speaking at the Google “Big Tent” event this morning, and as we noted earlier this week, he’s picking a bit of a fight with them over their tax affairs. Understandably, most of the press coverage in advance of Miliband’s speech (and presumably afterwards too) is about Google’s tax affairs. That’s in part due to David Cameron’s unwillingness to challenge his adviser, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, when the two met earlier this week. The Downing Street media team [...]

    More evidence of that slick Downing Street media operation…

    By Mark Ferguson

    Ed Miliband is addressing Google’s Big Tent, and is expected to attack them over tax avoidance. So the slick Downing Street operation presumably want to get out ahead of that, right? Not quite. Here’s a selection of the headlines from Tuesday’s papers: ‘Stop moralising about tax avoidance, PM told’ – Guardian p.23 ‘Tougher tax rules would cost jobs, minister warns’ – Financial Times p.3 ‘Cameron avoids showdown over Google tax row’ – Times p.15 ‘No taxing questions as PM lets [...]

    Where are the women over 50 on our TV screens?

    By Harriet Harman

    Most people like to think that we live in a society that is fair and equal but for some it is still not equal at all. When it comes to TV presenters, women disappear when they reach over the age of 50. As part of the work of the Older Women’s Commission, I wrote to the six main UK broadcasters asking them how many older women they employ on screen and behind the camera. The figures provided by broadcasters show [...]
