Lynne's Parliament and Haringey Diary, established 2003
Gordon Brown as PM: good, bad or indifferent?
This 
week’s Liberal Democrat News carries my latest column – and it’s about how Gordon Brown might turn out as Prime Minister:
When I was first elected to Parliament, I looked forward to meeting and seeing in action close up our major politicians, many of whom had previously only been a face on the TV to me.But Gordon Brown has been strangely absent from my Parliamentary experience. Despite having a huge influence that strays well beyond the Treasury, he rarely debates, rarely answers questions and even in his own Treasury patch leaves most of the Parliamentary speaking to his junior ministers.
You can read the rest of the piece on my website.

Lynne, hope the shingles is getting better.
Try comparing the Treasury junior ministers with those of other depts. Last Monday I watched Gillian Merron (DfT) winding up (Concessionary Travel) and then later read the text – poor stuff, not for the first time.
