The Economist: Gordon Brown's woes - A flimsy fightback
WHEN Gordon Brown became prime minister last June, few doubted that it was his commanding performance in ten years as chancellor of the exchequer that made him the uncontested candidate. Yet in his astonishing fall from grace of the past few months, economic and fiscal stumbles have featured large. A haunting precedent is the short-lived administration of Anthony Eden, famed as a diplomat, who was felled by his mishandling of foreign policy in the Suez crisis of 1956.

Gordon Brown is a life-long politician with absolutely no experience of business or finance. How he got the nickname "Prudence" is a mystery, since he has never acted prudently with the nation's finances.
