Just left the Andrew Marr Show, where I was on the sofa discussing the day’s big story before the full broadcast of Andrew’s pre-recorded interview with Gordon, in which the PM called off the snap election.
As I argue in today’s Sunday Telegraph, it is only a fortnight since Brown was on the very same show, insisting coquettishly that he would not be providing a ‘running commentary’ on his election planning. Now it looks as though it is he himself who is ‘running’ – from the people’s judgment which, his pollsters told him, could not be assumed to be positive.
So often impressive since he entered Number Ten, Gordon looked evasive and irritable today.
