Conservative MP apologises for Cameron’s hospital blunder

First there was the little matter of David Cameron campaigning to save health services in Altrincham that, er…, didn’t actually exist.

And now one of his MPs has apologised for another blunder over another hospital. It turns out that whilst Cameron was saying it was at risk, it, er…, wasn’t really:

Henry Bellingham, the Tory MP for North-West Norfolk, made a public apology on behalf of the Tories, saying the Queen Elizabeth hospital in King’s Lynn should not have been on the “hit list”.

More in The Telegraph.

It almost makes you pine for the days when David Cameron just spent his time changing his clothes again and again.

Isn’t this the time not to attack the Tories (which worked so well at the last election) but to join in the attack on Labour?
Dominic 23rd Aug '07 - 11:16pm

No! We should and are attacking both. Good :o)

If you are happy with poll ratings in the mid teens fine.

Aren’t you a Tory, Ralph? I’m not sure I buy Tories suggesting we don’t attack the Tories, for obvious reasons 😉
Ralph 24th Aug '07 - 4:55pm

If it was a general suggestion then no it wouldn’t be a good idea piggybacking on the Tory campaign is a good idea. It might get you noticed.

How would attacking Labour’s NHS record hurt you?
