Brown is "very depressed" and has shown how he reacts to bad news of his own making, without letting go of the spin:
Gordon Brown did not look happy as he took his seat at the Pride of Britain Awards ceremony on Tuesday night at television studios on London’s South Bank.
Before the cameras rolled the prime minister sat down at his table, surrounded by celebrities whose names he did not know, and adopted an ogreish expression that signalled: “Don’t talk to me, I don’t want to talk to you.”
Only when the signal was given that the cameras were rolling and the programme was going “for a take” did Brown’s face light up with a smile.
Yet, double-digit poll ratings falling to a Tory lead just show volatility. Cameron has fortune, the end of Brown's honeymoon and Ming Campbell on his side. But, the problems, principles and plans must take precedence. This is a favoured moment for the Tories and they will slip back for awhile.
Cameron had a good PMQs, yet further aggression may be seen as arrogant. Time to attack Labour's policies more, pinpoint their dishonesty and let their complacent hubris and incompetence work its magic.
