For those of you who missed it, Radio Four has just broadcast a piece about what the women who worked with think Gordon Brown think of him. Not a lot, it seems. Here are some of the quotes:
Jane Kennedy
“Well I think that the Labour Party is expecting us to do better. The Parliamentary Labour Party were told in the first meeting after the election in June we were promised that there was going to be a change. We haven’t seen that change yet, we haven’t even really seen the kind of clarity and willingness to listen to what the voters are telling us about policy. I’ve had lots of policy differences whilst I’ve been a member of the Government and with policy you can argue about the policy, but when it is a behavioural trait that you keep being promised is going to change and doesn’t, that’s a real difficulty because the only thing you can then do is change the person get somebody else to do the job.
