I wrote about this a year ago, a year later things have not improved. Aside from weathering the financial crisis, Brown is facing a party crisis and and inquest over his inner circle.
Eventually you have to ask yourself what does he want to go down in history for? Blair I think always had the idea of further European unity - luckily the single currency never materialised more pressing things about backing America in a bizarre war on terror in Iraq came first, and eventually did for him.
Still Blair would have you point to a few things that made him a good prime minister - minimum wage. better health care investment, and it would be unfair to quibble here.
But Brown? Unless there is a near miraculous turnaround in fortune he could go down as the worst in history - and given our history that is an awful epitaph.
