Party before country

Whilst Gordon Brown focused on his role as leader of the Labour Party yesterday, fighting for his job, the country continues to wait for the Prime Minister to show some real leadership during the current financial crisis. He may have pleased his Party faithful but he did not address the serious concerns that ordinary men and women up and down our country face. We had more of the usual combination of flashy gimmicks and flamboyant spending of public money (for cheap short term good headlines) but none of the solutions we need to move the economy forward.
