A sober analysis of Brown's 'help' for homedebtors

Guardian: A matter of protocol

So what are we to make of Brown's statement? One housing barrister suggested to me it was simply a "layman's mistake", but others take a more sceptical view. The CJC should be mightily miffed that its hard work has been plucked away, bandied about the Commons and spun into something it's not by a prime minister desperate for an initiative to show he was "doing something" about the home loans catastrophe. If he was simply misinformed then he had better get on and really do something because a gentlemanly, voluntary, administrative protocol is not going to solve the housing crisis.

Various commentators have suggested that his comments amount to electioneering, as we are coming closer to by-election time. You will have seen the news articles saying Gordo is off to shake hands and kiss babies - such is the urgency of the task!
