Mr Angry

Another drubbing for Gordon Brown at PMQs. He is looking increasingly shaky at the weekly Parliamentary set piece and the shakiness translates to what appears to be real anger. Conservative back benchers have picked up on this and the calls of “Mr Angry!” simply make Gordon’s bad temper worse.

Gordon’s humour will not have been improved by GQ magazine’s list of the 100 most influential men in Britain. Last year the Prime Minister – one Tony Blair – topped the list. This year, Gordon is only second.

Worse still for Gordon is the identity of the list's top man: David Cameron.

GQ writes that "Cameron has stayed on the front foot" since promising to slash inheritance tax and stamp duty.

It continues:

"It is Brown's responses to the Tories' initiatives that are the real driving force behind current Government policy-making."

How dreadful for Gordon: second fiddle to Cameron and reduced to following the Tories’ lead.

Expect more tantrums from Mr Angry.

Glad to see that you partcipate in a little light reading sometimes, such as GQ.
No doubt you read Boris Johnsons little motoring column.
