Brown bats off taunts after poll rout
Jonathan | May 8 2008

Gordon Brown, reeling from a drubbing in local polls, sought to allay voters’ concerns over the economy on Wednesday in the face of taunts from an opposition that can smell victory at the next general election.

Brown, appearing in parliament for the first time since Labour suffered its worst local election result on record, said the Conservatives lacked substance and would jeopardise hard-won stability.

But Conservative leader David Cameron — on track to win a landslide if last Thursday’s poll result were to be repeated in a general election due by 2010 — said Brown had run out of ideas, had no vision and was full of empty words.
