One-sided coverage

Over the weekend I got a tad annoyed with the rather one-sided coverage about John Redwood's tax proposals. But it wasn't in the way you may think. Now there are lot of proposals, to come out of that policy review group, some of which I agree with and others I don't. However, I'm not an economist, so I'll leave that to the experts.

Anyway, I digress. Throughout the Sunday papers the Labour attacks were revolving around "cuts in services", and the "lurch the right". But, what seemed to be glossed over in yesterday's dead tree press, was Gordon Brown's new election fighting kitty, provided by the Trade Unions. A kitty, I hasten to add, that the unions refused to give to Blair.

So with the influx of millions of pounds of union money, doesn't that show that Labour is "lurching to the left"?

Why wasn't this golden opportunity picked up on or reported about? Instead of constantly defending against Labour spin, the opposition parties should be highlighting the shift in Labour's policies, as it has been shown time and time again in this country that left wing policies are far more damaging.
