How the Conservatives turned Labour's attack dog into their PR agent

Here’s a clever way to get more exposure for your political slogan. You say it so often in speeches, press releases and planted questions from the whips that it seeps everywhere, you start dreaming it, and your opponents get very cross indeed. Then your opponents accidentally say your political slogan while all mithered. Then they get a bit jealous that it’s popping up in every single piece of government literature so they complain about this political slogan, which they mention, again, thus ensuring it reaches more and more and more people.

Bravo to an opposition that stays calm in the face of a barrage of ‘long-term economic plans’ designed to goad them and signify to voters that Labour has a short-term, wibbly sort of plan and only the Conservatives can finish the recovery. The last thing Labour would want to do would be to start repeating the slogan in an angry voice.
