Lookin' Good!
I'd imagine being Prime Minister is a stressful job - just look at how it aged Tony Blair. But seriously, Brown is taking it to a new level. In every picture now he looks fucked. Grey, jowly, depressed, over-weight - sometimes he looks hungover, peering at an unfriendly world through narrow, drink soaked eyes. I'm not saying he is a drunk, or is having a breakdown, or is very unwell. But I suspect that the pressure is destroying the Prime Minister. And the irony is that the job Brown sought for so long is also going to be the job that breaks and destroys him.There will be some who feel sorry for the Prime Minister, and will point out that he is dealing with extraordinary pressure that would break many better men. To them I say "bollocks." Brown wanted this job, and is (to a large extent) the architect of of the cirumstances that are creating so many problems for him. I don't believe in karma, but it is so tempting to see the grey-faced ghoul lurking in Downing Street as being the victim of karmic retribution. And if what goes around truly does come around, then, Mr Brown, you're fucked. And thing's ain't going to get any better for you.

Labour will want to delay the general election for as long as possible in the hope that something will turn up to save them, so it seems very likely that Brown will be gone before then. Either he will suffer a complete physical and/or mental collapse that forces him to resign, or he will bolt at the last minute to avoid the humiliation of losing by a landslide. Brown is out of options and I suspect he knows it. If he really believed his own bluster he wouldn't be so visibly falling apart.
