Alistair Darling has written his memoir of his time as chancellor, and it does not apparently paint a good picture of Brown. As one journalist put it today, he was unfit for office if you piece together all the evidence and accounts of his behaviour.
So why was someone not braver in the Labour party in ousting him while he was in government? There were just a couple of attempts and no heavyweights broke ranks to help see it through.
The memoir is probably also quite damaging for current Labour shadow ministers, some of whom were around and closely associated with the flawed and out of depth Brown.
