A spring 2008 election?

Ms Blears’ letter, written on Labour-headed notepaper, says: “In the New Year we face real challenges, the election of a new leader, local elections and the need to prepare for the forthcoming general election, which may be less than 16 months away.”
She adds: “The Tories are making a comeback, the next general election will not be easy.
“A swing against Labour of just 1.3% could see the Tories forming the next government.”
