Dust to Dust

Labour aren't having a good weekend. On the eve of the election being called the momentum and the lead is back with the Tories. Much of this is down to George Osborne who once again playing a great hand on a fiscal announcement. Once it was the IHT cut and now it's the pledge to make seven out ten working people better off by removing Brown and Darling's national insurance increase.

And of course Labour's bad weekend can be blamed on their poster disaster. Expect the Milibands to come under much fire next week for the cock up. Already the blame game is starting. TB put a call into one of his best Labour sources, a senior party figure who had seen an advanced copy of the poster, to poke fun. He wasn't expecting quite such rage though:

"We're getting the worst reactions at the doorstep: indifference and inattention. Even people who watched the show last night didn't get the reference, and the vast majority of the country didn't watch the show. HQ just don't get it."

Another Labour hack said "I can't believe what a f*** up this weekend has been."

Every newspaper and even the BBC are slamming the poster and the polls tonight are expected to show an increased Tory lead. You want to get yourselves a decent ad agency chaps.
