Number crunching | 26 August 2008

George Bush: 9 times
Nicolas Sarkozy: 20 times
Angela Merkel: “several” times

And…

Gordon Brown: once

As the Telegraph story reporting this puts it, “The revelation is likely to reinforce the image of Mr Brown as a brooding loner with little interest in foreign affairs.”
