Another blow to Brown
Fraser Nelson 7:23pm
Adam Boulton, political editor of Sky News, is famously fair minded. That makes his verdict on Brown simply devastating. He has just described this as "one of the worst blows to a serving prime minister that I can remember in quarter of a century of covering politics." He blames the debacle on Brown's advisers. "If I was giving him any advice tonight it would be ‘sack the lot of them’”. And he's hiding away while Ming and Cameron are taking questions. "It's not leadership as most people will understand it."
This is just a nuclear bomb.
