Ding Dong Merrily on High - Gordon is losing his marbles
Brown's future in doubt as Labour slide in polls - Telegraph
Gordon Brown has been accused of leading a Government in paralysis after a new poll showed Labour falling even further behind the Conservatives....
His personal approval has now slumped from a 48 per cent net positive reading in the early weeks of his premiership to 26 per cent net negative now.
It came amid claims that Mr Brown is "too demoralised" to introduce new banking rules after the run on Northern Rock.
One senior Bank of England official told Irwin Stelzer, the economist and writer, that senior ministers were "unable to focus because morale throughout the Government is so low"...
However, David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary regarded by Blairites as a possible successor to Mr Brown, insisted that the Government was not in crisis.
"It doesn't feel like meltdown at all," he told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show. "This is a Government getting on with the big and difficult decisions. And Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog are going to have a really big adventure with lashings of ginger beer..."
