Labour - and Brown - slide further says ICM poll

The scale of the challenge facing Gordon Brown is underlined in a Guardian/ICM poll today which shows he would hand the Tories a 15-point lead if he was leading the party at the next election. On the eve of the chancellor's 11th and final budget, the poll also highlights voters' anxiety about the growing financial squeeze on households and the amount they pay in tax.
The findings show that Mr Brown's recent charm offensive has yet to convince the public he will make a good prime minister; the gulf between the two parties has widened in the last month. A small but significant number of voters switch away from Labour when reminded that Mr Brown will probably lead the party at the election, and a similar number are attracted to the Tories by David Cameron.

Ten years to notice this, what are these guys on?

No no no... not ten years to notice... ten years to wait for just the right time to make it public to try and either stop it happening or ensure he's voted out at the earliest opportunity - along with the rest of the NL b*st*rds.

Even if the West Lothian question wasn't around the dark forces of politics would ensure a Scot would never be a PM. IMHO

Harriet Harmen says ""He is demanding of his colleagues, but he is demanding of himself because he wants to change things for the better."

When is he going to start then?

George Osborne describes him as mildly autistic. Away from the bearpit, most MPs have good relationships with those on the opposite benches. But not Brown apparently.
