NHS a 60 year mistake says top Tory

This would not play well in a UK general election campaign.

So, what will Labour's election game plan be:

1. Push Brown as economically competent. This will work as long as the Tories look like snipers from the side.

2. Try to expose the "true side" of the "nasty party". This fails when Cameron is the focus, but is considerably easier with other Tory talking heads.

There is nothing else they can do, and personally I don't think this one-two punch will work in the face of mass disaffection for what is a visibly aging government and one which much of the educated left detest as much as the Tories.
