THE Nationwide Building Society has just said it is experiencing the biggest rise in consumer confidence in two years.

How the Tories must be dreading an economic recovery before the next election.

David Cameron, who is so vociferous in his condemnation of Gordon Brown and the Labour Party, is so strangely silent on policies – maybe it’s because he hasn’t got any.

His army of right-wing media publicists make Max Clifford look like an amateur.

All governments need to delegate and Gordon Brown was badly let down by the Financial Services Agency. He, of course, is not entirely blameless. He was warned that a recession was imminent, but hoped we could weather the storm.

My message to all Labour voters is to not desert the Party despite its faults and shortcomings. The working man founded the Labour Party when he was opposed on all sides by right-wing Conservatives and nothing has changed. We all know whose side the “City” is on.

It used to be said the trade unions dominated the Labour Party, which is no longer true.

I wonder who is pulling Mr Cameron’s strings.

You don’t have to look far – it is the very people who got us in to this mess in the first place. – Hugh Pender, Darlington.
