David Cameron Backs Gordon Brown

In an interview on the World at One, Kenneth Clarke, the shadow business secretary, said the Conservatives would not withdraw support from the Royal Mail Bill.

Asked if the Tories would guarantee to back the government, he said: "Of course. We have made this clear from the word go. We think something of this kind should have been done many years ago. We will carry on voting for it."



Today David Cameron urged voters to give the 'useless and spineless' Government a message it will never forget at next month's elections. He claimed it was a 'tragedy' voters had to wait a year before getting rid of Labour.

Cameron also said. 'With every Conservative vote, the message will be simple: Enough is enough. You're the past. With every day that passes, this Government is running our country into the ground. Borrowing eye-watering amounts of money, presiding over social decline, letting our politics descend into the quagmire.

Just where do you stand on the European Union Directive 2008/6/EC and the Royal Mail quagmire .
