Gordon Brown is looking increasingly beleaguered as Prime Minister, stumbling from one disaster to another. Given the controversies he and his party are now mired in, I'm sure he is wishing he had called the election while he still had a chance of winning.
Prime Minister's Questions should be fun as he has to attempt to bat away criticism after the Labour general Secretary resigned after admitting he knew that donations had been channelled through third parties. This practice is contrary to election law and the Electoral Commission, the UK political system watch dog are reportedly already looking into it. I'm sure the Crown Prosecution Service is also looking on with interest.
When governments lose control of events they look shaky. There seem to be wave after wave of controversies rocking the New Labour boat and many of them will not go away. Opinion polls put the a huge 13 points adrift of the Conservatives yet Gordon Brown claims he doesn't look at opinion polls. This seems a bizarre suggestion from anyone involved in politics, never mind a Prime Minister.
