Gordon "saves the world"

This just in from PMQ's.

Another batch of Brown failing to answer any questions and trying to smear his opponents rather than take his high office seriously or engage in democratic debate.

Gordon's sorry ....

Sometimes when my kids do something really bad they get a fair bit of telling off from ol Dad. I do my best to sound stern and authoritative.

It normally works. In fact it worked so well with my daughter this morning when she was ignoring her mothers instructions to get ready for school that I ended up having to say sorry to her - after all she has that female secret weapon of tears.

But then sometimes I discover that they don't mean what I thought they did when they say sorry. What they mean is that they are sorry they got caught and/or are being admonished. Their deeper understanding on what brought all this about is just missing - and in Father mode if I catch on to this I try to straighten them out on the point.

Which brings me to my point. Gordon's sorry - apparently. But what is he sorry about ? Well the hiding at the ballot box that his advisers have got up the courage to warn him about tomorrow.

He doesn't understand what he's doing that's so wrong - but he doesn't like the look of the result as it impacts him so he's saying sorry.

I saw the Daily Politics ( 80%+ airtime to Labour supporters one day before the election - come on guys at least be subtle about your bias ) where they tried to imply David Cameron had taken the wrong tack in PMQs. Lord Strathclyde, in one of the few words he was allowed to get in, suggested that the attack on Brown for being calculating had been the most effective. And there it is - Gordon's underlying 'sin' is his calculating tactical approach to politics which when combined with the erroneous socialist view of the world has lead to a whole stream of disasters of his own making ( the bottled election, selling gold at the low part of the market, not reforming public services, caving on civil service retirement at 60 (in exchange for votes pre 2005, the 10p tax con, and soon 42 imprisonment without trial or even charging ).

Gordon is only sorry for himself - because he can see the punishment coming.

Tetchy lefties on "The world at one"

If you listened to Martha Kearney and the World at One on BBC radio 4 this lunch time let me ask you a question.

Is it just me or are the lefties getting a bit tetchy about the poor performance of Gordon Brown - esp at PMQs ?

Also for those wondering which side the Lib Dem toast is buttered we had the old alliance of Labour and Lib Dem commentators laying into the Tory in the second of the two interviews.(Shirley Williams just can't help herself).

Martha had trouble keeping the two sides apart in the first interview.

It seems to me that the failure of Gordon Brown is now becoming hard for Labour ( and interestingly the Lib Dems) to ignore. It making them bad tempered as they realise the end of their gravy train is approaching fast.

Iain Dale wonders why Brown can't answer a simple question.

When did Gordon Brown know ?

David Cameron has just asked Gordon Brown three times in PMQs when he knew about the problem of illegal immigrants working in security firms.

Three times Gordon Brown has made the incredible reply that his government is interested in action not press releases. ( Of course the leak that forced Jacqui Smith to report this to the commons shows that presentation was the issue that stopped them reporting the issue. They are just lying.)

They are morally bankrupt and unfit to run our country.
