The Conservative high command is naturally sticking with its strategy of staying ‘positive’.
But that hasn’t stopped Tory surrogates from trying to attack their newest foes for being hypocritical.
This is the video published today by ConservativeHome
The FT’s Robert Shrimsley says:
The content is pretty rich really especially from the party of the duck houses and moat-cleaners. The shadow cabinet are no angels on expenses. ConservativeHome is hugely influential and it is filled with people from the Tebbit Tendency who want to go negative on the Liberal Democrats. But it is not an official mouthpiece so it is conveniently arms length.
As I pointed out on a short piece written at LC Westminster: this is likely to be the new attack-tactics for the Tories. Their aim is to try and build up Clegg and then call him ‘holier than thou’ in not so many words.
The ad won’t go out to millions of people, but it may inform the Westminster bubble narrative. Clegg should figure out a counter-strategy.

Doesn’t this smack of panic.
Yes it does. Don’t you love it?
It’s like watching L/Cpl Jones from Dad’s Army……
It’s a shame the British press is the way it is. We need news and factual news but these headlines are pure spite and full of fear.
These papers moan about the dumbing down of education but the papers are at the front of the queue when it comes to dumbing down.
The Mail and co want to stick up for the Christian majority but looking at what Jesus preached I guess he would be appalled about the kind of attitude that the papers inflict on people they don’t agree with. The papers are more like Herod than anything Christian.
