If the British people really do want less spin and more substance from their prime minister, then Gordon Brown could be the man to deliver it.
  • Please...

    Brown's speech was all about spin. As the second-most-powerful politician in the country for the last ten years, Brown was co-architect with Blair on the New Labour project. Yet, incredibly enough, he tried to paint his rearranging of the deck chairs as a bold change of direction.

    Really, as anyone who's watched Gordon for the last decade knows, he's a master political operator, leaking and planting stories to his heart's content. To say we're going to get less spin from him than Blair is to sound naive beyond belief.
