Flash Gordon!

It's that time of year again. Yup it's party conference season - and what a week Labour are having! This time last year could anyone imagine Labour being ahead in the polls and even considering a snap election? Gordon Brown and his press team provide the perfect example of how to feed the media with the right messages to damage your opponent. Constant briefings to journalists - who just love speculation - which in turn only causes more unrest for the Conservatives. Give journalists a good story and they have no need to go digging. You can get all the coverage you want!
