At the end of last week, Labour Party strategists said that they wanted Gordon Brown to get out and meet more ordinary people. To be honest, most of us wondered why he had been so sheltered – after all when most of us are fighting elections,we tr to meet as many of the voters as possible. [...]

I wonder if the Manchester Labour Party are going to call for action against Gordon Brown?

Watching the Labour Party slowly commit political suicide today has been far less pleasant than I would have expected. Switching onto the Daily Politics just before Prime Minister’s Questions, we were treated to Andrew Neil and Nick Robinson joking together about the ridiculous possibility of an imminent coup against Brown. Over in the Commons, Brown managed [...]

Today’s Queen’s Speech is widely expected to bring forward a Personal Care at Home Bill, designed to pay for personal care for many pensioners. Reports on its contents suggest that there will be many who fall through this ’safety net’, not least those whose needs are so great that they have to move into residential [...]

Yesterday’s Radio 4 ‘Today’ programme saw Thought for the Day followed by a new slot – ‘I’m the Chancellor’. Yesterday the slot was filled by Peter Mandelson, who announced that the Comprehensive Spending Review would be postponed until after the next General Election. Mandelson said that he “believed that the Chancellor has made that judgement”, [...]

I know exactly the day on which Gordon Brown should comment on the shameful antics of Damian McBride and Derek Draper – 8th Spetember 2009. That’s exactly 150 days from the date of McBride’s resignation from the Prime Minister’s office. Why 150 days? Well that’s how long it took for David Cameron to mumble a half-hearted apology of sorts [...]

Now that I am supposedly a lady of leisure (Ha, ha!), I often get the chance to watch Prime Minister’s Question Time. I really don’t know why I bother – I might as well watch a poor slapstick comedy film on one of the various channels that Sky throw in to my package for free. Twenty [...]
Gordon could learn a thing or two

So Michael Vaughan has stepped down as England’s cricket captain. He has chosen to do so before he became an embarrassment and dragged the entire team down with him. He has done so with grace and humility and drawn comments of respect and affection from colleagues, opponents and the general public alike. The same can’t [...]

I suppose Geraldine Smith thought she was being helpful and loyal to Gordon Brown, when she spoke out against David Miliband today. Speaking on BBC Radio 4′s The World At One, Smith said, “What has David Miliband ever achieved, apart from furthering his own career? If David Miliband was placed back on the backbenches, then I [...]

It can’t be much fun being Gordon Brown at the moment. Even on holiday, he’s faced with derogatory comments about his dress sense and looks about as relaxed as you would expect for someone who’s become a dead man walking. It’s not much more than a year since he was crowned Labour leader and Prime [...]
