A new biography of Gordon Brown, by James Macintyre, reviewed by Jonathan Freedland.
I always had a lot of sympathy for Gordon Brown. His politics was far from perfect and the New Labour project started trends that did not end well. But, hell, what Labour did in government after 1997 was an incredible achievement, and Brown as Chancellor made it happen. The man also has personal integtity. On all of these fronts, the current Labour crop fail abysmally.
A sympatheric review of a sympathetic biography. I probably won't buy the book, but I recommend reading the review.
And I raise my virtual class to a politician of integrity and stature.
