This Friday marks the first anniversary of Gordon Brown becoming PM. To put it mildly, it hasn’t been a successful start. This week on Coffee House we’ll be putting forward our views on why and where it has all gone so wrong.
The obvious answer is the whole debacle of the election that never was. But this is a necessary but not sufficient explanation for why Labour is now recording some of its lowest poll ratings since records began, and why 85 percent of voters think that Brown has done a worse job than they were expecting.
On Friday, we’ll invite you to vote for what has been the biggest factor in it all being such a disaster.
P.S. You can read Matt’s assessment for The Sunday Telegraph of Brown’s first year here.
