Tory leader David Cameron branded Gordon Brown "extreme", "awful" and "a creature of the past", in a stinging personal attack on the man he expects to face in the next General Election.

In spite of his promise to move away from "Punch and Judy-style" confrontational politics, Mr Cameron used a New Year interview to make a string of personal criticisms of the Chancellor.

And he insisted he was keen for battle with Brown to commence, calling on Prime Minister Tony Blair to "get on" and quit 10 Downing Street.

He also fleshed out his plans for the economy, refusing to rule out tax rises if times are tough and making clear that his tax-cutting ambitions do not commit him to making reductions every year of a Conservative administration.

Now we'll have to endure 3 years of pre-electoral campaigning by Cameron and Brown, with the latter having one hand tied to his back because Blair will refuse to step down.

One can only hope that Labour loses votes to the LibDems rather than to Cameron in 2009.
