Warning over Tory-Lib Dems alliance
The Labour candidate in the forthcoming Hartlepool by-election has accused the Liberal Democrats of forming an alliance with the Conservatives.
In an email to party members Iain Wright said Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy would serve in a Government under Michael Howard. (Not that he will get the chance - ed)He also accused the Liberal Democrats of moving closer to the Tories by following a right wing policy agenda. (Excuse me but since when has 'tax and spend' been right wing? - Ed) The email, which was released officially by the Labour Party, said the "real choice" in the forthcoming by-election was between the Labour Government and a Conservative administration.
Mr Wright, who is a Hartlepool councillor, wrote: "It is pretty clear that the Lib Dems and the Tories are moving together - Charles Kennedy's hostility to the Labour Party is so great it is easy to imagine him serving in government under Michael Howard. (Just one problem, amongst many, is that Charlie wants us to be a federal Europe - Ed)
"That is why the choice in Hartlepool remains between Labour and the Tories - in what ever guise they appear." (Now he is talking sense - Ed)The married father-of-three added: "Here in Hartlepool the Lib Dems are desperately trying to pick up the Tories' votes. Their leading figures are proposing ever more right wing policies - including the destruction of the NHS and its replacement by a social insurance system." (Yes, but that is today's policy. In Brent East they changed their Council Tax policy as soon as they won - Ed)
