"and their weakness on crime and defence (thanks to the SDSR cuts) which historically have been strong suits for the Tories"
This is very regrettable because much 'defence' spending is not about defence at all. Labour should support a programme of conversion so that the skills of workers in the military sector could be used to build things that benefit humanity rather than threaten it.
P.S. I see that Geoff Hoon is the latest to go through the 'revolving door' that leads from the MOD to the arms manufacturers.
