Gordon Brown bottles it!

Cllr Justin Tomlinson & Robert Buckland Parliamentary Candidate for Swindon North & South today accused the Prime Minister of running scared after he ruled out an autumn election.

Gordon Brown ended speculation over an early election as fresh opinion polls indicated he would have lost his Commons majority.

Justin said "After weeks of hyping up the prospect of a November election, the Prime Minister has been forced into a humiliating climb-down, ducking David Cameron's challenge to hold an election now."

The latest data showed a serious Tory resurgence had left Labour trailing in Swindon.

Robert added "The Conservatives are prepared for an election and any delay will only strengthen our position.  Our private polling is good and tells us our current campaigns are working well and really making an impact in Swindon.  The two remote Labour MP's will be very relieved they can cling onto their expenses that little bit longer".
