His foresight has always been an issue though.

Anyway. I don't see how his diminishing eyesight precludes him from doing the job. David Blunket is completely blind and he was a fine Home Secretary - oh, no, wait...

Everything governments do, in particular this one, is for calculated political gain.

Since nothing gets published to the public without Downing St. approval, one wonders where the political gain is in this announcement.

It can hardly be a "sympathy announcement", to help bolster Brown's ratings.

Therefore it can only be a "foreshadowing announcement", so that when Brown is replaced later this year, the general public will understand that it is on "health reasons", and not lack of performance.

This damages the party less than an MP revolt and coup d'état.

No it shouldn't. He should stand trial and be executed no matter what state his physical or mental health is in.
