No election

Filed under: Politics — Will @ 3:51 pm

Gordon Brown isn’t going to call a general election, Nick Robinson is reporting.

Scaredy cat, scaredy cat, sitting on the doormat. Of Number 10. For a few more months at least.

So he’s messed around with Labour’s activists, led electoral officers around the country to make unnecessary preparations, and caused the news agenda to be dominated by election speculation - rather than, say, actual news - for weeks. Well done, Gordon. And all the time you were “getting on with running the country” and not at all strategising with your advisers. Not at all.

And now what have you decided? That you can’t be sure of doing better than the unpopular Tony Blair if you went to the country now. Bit of a damning indictment of your first 100 days in office really.
