Gordon wasn't ready for the fight
Fraser Nelson 2:00pmThe Marr-Brown interview made me realise Brown wasn't ready for this election either. His claim that the Tory inheritance tax proposal would have "led to economic disarray" is laughable and would have perished on the doorsteps. Yet, he will--"of course"--look at inheritance tax again (expect him to raise the threshold, copying the Tory policy). He says he does "not accept" that he will take a hit for this fiasco. He'd better not read an opinion poll for the next few weeks, then.
