The inquest begins
At last, the inquest begins.
Asked whether Gordon Brown can win the next election, replied with the resounding reply "It's possible" before adding "but it will require changes" - changes, he went on, to his team, his message and sense of purpose.
Not a threat to change the leader but a demand that the leader change his approach fast.

If the answer is no, then this will question labour's ability to deliver real change.

Especially his dig about celebrity candidates and Boris' television appearances.

Brown's past record is to steal all of the good policies (anybody remember inheritance?) to Labours advantage in trying to steal the next election. Clearly Labour is clueless and finished, it is just a question of time!

His worst lie was to say that he sorted out the high inflation left by the conservatives.The inflation level at the time in 1997 is half of what it is now and of course he change inflation calculations from RPI to CPI about 7 years ago to cover up the fact that he had allowed inflation to rise during his time as Chancellor.
The man cannot be trusted to tell the truth and when he said he was ready to take his campaigb to the conservatives well let him.Let him call an elction now and see whether the country would back him.I doubt it he will just limp on until June 2010.
