Brown tells Sarkozy that he’ll plough on with ratification regardless

Mark Mardell has just reported that Gordon Brown has phoned Nicolas Sarkozy and told him that he would continue with ratification even if the Irish vote no. One wonders what part of ‘no’ these people don’t understand.

Brown is in a total pickle here. The Irish no is going to revive anger in this country about being denied the referendum that all three political parties promised us. Brown’s personal ratings are about to take another battering.
