Lame duck primeminister

Or so the recent headlines would have us believe. It isn't looking good though, you know politicians are in trouble when they say openly they are going to learn from mistakes and listen more. I don't think things ever got that bad for John Major!

I can't imagine there is a career respecting Labour front bencher who would like to take the reins from here. I also feel the votes have been against the party in power rather than for the opposition (it's easier when you don't have to see your policies through).

If Brown wants to survive, he has to simplify - taxes, tax credits, persuade the banks that less profit for a few years isn't such a bad thing. But I can't see this happening - is this the shortest lived PM in history?
