What about Lord North? PM when we lost America.
Brown is probably the worst PM in modern history - that might be more accurate or living memory perhaps. And it takes some going to beat Anthony Eden and Ted Heath...

I think the reason Blair didn't go is because he realised Brown wasn't up to the job or as John Denham said "Gordon will be a fucking awful Prime Minister".

Unemployment was going down (and indeed still is) because Brown put huge swathes of people on the public payroll. 900,000 more work for the state than did before Labour took office. Can you really claim that we are better off with 5-a-day co-ordinators or walking to school arrangers or lesbian outreach workers or trampoline advisers?

And then said that it was Sue's fault. Gormless Gordon - always someone else's fault. Blame Sue Nye for his cock-up...

Labour inherited an incredibly strong economy. If the Tories had won in 1997, Ken Clarke would probably have stayed chancellor and GB's reputation for prudence may never have been tested. When it was tested, it was found wanting

The Sun did not hack Brown's phone to get the Fraser story. It was a tip-off from a member of the public. Brown says that he and Mrs Brown cried after the call from Rebekah Brooks. The same Rebekah Brooks for whom Sarah Brown arranged a 40th birthday party and who had "sleepovers" at Chequers.

How many people could name/recognise any of the MPs/peers jailed? Gordon Brown fiddled his exes, so did H. Blears, M. Beckett, A. Darling, E. Balls, Y. Cooper as well as numerous Tories and Liberals. Funny how none of the big names got sent down

If you hate Brown,its because you hate Labour and anything left wing. Brown was and is a decent guy,Blair hated him because he represented true Labour values, we as a country are luck we had him for 10 years as cancellor. Look who we have now,a jumped up ex etonian who would struggle to change a lighbulb,screwing the country into the ground. And its those who work at the bottom for the low wages who will feel the shit,not any tories.
