It’s started! The run-up to the General Election I mean.
David Cameron kicked off proceedings yesterday morning with a not-too convincing speech telling us that the NHS will be his number one priority, pledging also maternity reforms ‘to meet mothers’ needs’ whatever that means. All this while tackling the government’s budget deficit.
Then we had the monotone Chancellor Alistair Darling who launched an attack on the Tories’ spending plans, claiming that they had a credibility gap of £34 billions, an easy accusation to make since none us understand it or can check it.
Not to be outdone, Nick Clegg has told us that the Labour and Tory parties were ‘increasingly alike’. I’m not sure I agree with him here unless he was referring to the general shouting match that has now erupted.
We haven’t heard from the other parties but, doubtless, we will in time.
Commentators believe that the General Election will be called for 6 May. If that is right, we will have four months of this nonsense to endure.
Groan!
