This press release from the Tories just landed in my inbox:
Commenting on Harriet Harman’s comparison of Gordon Brown to Superman, Shadow Cabinet member, Chris Grayling, said:
“Gordon Brown is the Lex Luthor and not the Superman of British politics. He gets us into a deep mess and all his ideas about how to get us out of it just aren’t working.”
