A fair cop?

Times are hard and it will be a difficult year (see my immediate past post, Stormy weather), but Gordon Brown was at his hectoring worst during PMQs today. Pressed on why the Home Secretary wouldn’t accept the recommendation from the independent tribunal on police pay, all he had to offer was his government’s anti-inflation strategy. If government is all about trust, then things are going from bad to worse. Badly done, Mr Brown.
