SIR: Every good organisation should have a strategy if it wants to succeed. Therefore it comes as no surprise that New Labour has one.

Brian Mawhinney knows that the Tories have one, he probably helped to compile it. The point here is, how did he come to get hold of New Labour's?

Was it really sent to him in a plain brown envelope? Why did he wait six months before revealing it?

Surely by doing so, he is guilty of exactly what he accuses New Labour.
