The Conservatives have further exposed Labour's scare tactics by producing twenty-three examples of Labour's scaremongering leaflets.
In the TV debate last night Gordon Brown denied that he had any knowledge of the lies and scare tactics his MPs have been using in their campaign literature.
At a press conference today Eric Pickles and Michael Gove published 23 examples of Labour leaflets peddling lies about Conservative Party policies. The examples of leaflets containing Labour’s shameful lies include no fewer than five Minsters plus Gordon Brown’s own Parliamentary Private Secretary.
Conservative Party Chairman Eric Pickles said Labour have been "caught spreading poisonous lies about the Conservative Party".
"Gordon Brown denied giving the go ahead for these leaflets, but with his own ministers using them in their local campaigns his comments are shown up to be complete and utter rubbish."

"Last night, when he was confronted over these lies, the Prime Minister said that he had not authorised these leaflets", said Michael Gove. "But today we have the proof that shows he was talking nonsense".
"Labour have been peddling these allegations against the Conservatives for years and we now have the evidence that his own ministers were at the forefront of this smear campaign".
Gove called on Brown to "rebuke his colleagues, insist that these leaflets are withdrawn and apologise to the electors in these seats".
"Labour's campaign has so far been based on fear and smear, they have nothing new to offer the British people and, on that basis, they have forfeited the right to govern."
The scare tactics have also featured on Labour's website and in a Labour election broadcast.
