Brown ramps up attack on Tories over cuts

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown today accused the Conservatives of planning to cut school funding and scrap NHS waiting list guarantees in order to fund tax breaks for millionaires.

Speaking at a rally to support the NHS in Northamptonshire, Mr Brown warned that a Tory victory in the General Election on May 6 would mean losing guarantees of cancer tests within a week, access to GPs at evenings and weekends and operations within 18 weeks.
