In his insightful article on Brown and the forthcoming G20 summit, Francis Elliot writes a sentence which should terrify Labour supporters:
“[Gordon Brown] has already decided that his only hope of a comeback in the polls lies with the economy.”
Sure, we all know that Team Brown has been putting a lot of hope in a green shoots strategy. But, as we’ve pointed out on Coffee House before, there’s little reason to believe that an economic recovery will deliver a significant boost for the Government. If that’s all that the PM has, then his situation is looking more hopeless than ever.
