Sunday roundup

The most informative articles from the weekend’s papers concern Gordon Brown.

With a general election a matter of months away, the battle lines are being drawn between the Tories and Labour.

The key dividing line looks like it’s going to be over taxation and spending, even if the contest is dominated by false accusations and rumour. For instance the IoS reports that the PM this week is to lauch an attack on the Conservatives by claiming that they will cut public spending, thereby putting frontline services at risk—claims that are denied by Cameron.

But Brown is facing pressure on two fronts: not only does he have to try to outwit Cameron, according to John Rentoul a plot to topple the PM is not out of the question.
