True. That and his claims that cross-border blood and organ donations would stop if Scotland went independent - which was shown to be utter lies. 

But at the same time he did more to alleviate poverty in Britain than anyone else in my lifetime. Plus he cancelled loads of third world debt and tripled the development budget. Brought in the very first climate change act. 

As PM he made one big mistake - he shat it out of a general election in 2007. He would probably have won that and been in power until 2012. Instead the financial crisis came along and swept him away. 

He also failed to understand the concept of charisma and showmanship.  These are not necessarily good things but they help you get elected.

Blair had it, so did Cameron and Johnson.  Brown thought he was doing a serious job and there was no time to smile about anything.   May was crap at this to but she up against Corbyn who looked like he wasn't happy about anything.

Truss will win the leadership contest because she can smile a lot.  So can somebody without a brain.

I'm going to sound very blue tick twitter here but I am quite insistent that the world ended when Charlie Brooker stopped doing year-end wipes in 2016 and I don't recognise anything that's happened since as actual history.

What a treat I miss Screenwipe so much.

I accidentally red-dotted this and don't know how to undo it. I generally don't red dot except for in extreme cases (racism, homophobia, etc) - my apologies. 

I disagree on Brown's overall record.

That's ok, I've never bothered with red dots and I'm not starting now.

As for Brown's record, it's ok to disagree but those are facts. I

I'd watch a Top of the Pops style countdown on that.

It'd be just like old times when Gary Glitter made an appearance.

That's a thread on its own. Tough gig getting down to 30.

He's obviously seething that the street urchin who cleans his chimney didn't turn up until 9.05am one morning.

6.05am surely?

[DeeTillEhDeh]

Chasing his arse up and down the country to apologise to a racist old bag did so much damage, validating the position that the EU foreigners fixing your plumbing and working in the NHS were in fact stealing your kids music lessons and stopping you from seeing a dentist. For that alone he should be thrown into fucking space. The coward. 
 
ETA I take your point about the good he did it's just you only have to be a tory hoor, or racist agitator once, to be condemned for all eternity, in my view. 

He should have challenged the racist old c**t there and then instead of complaining about it like a sad wee phanny afterwards.

I've said before that apologising to that sour old c**t was a sliding doors moment for the labour party. 

Broon should have stuck to his guns and argued as to why her "legitimate concerns" were no such thing. Instead he went populist and labour lost its last vestiges of being progressive. 

[Detournement]

Truss's plan to cut NI rather than energy bills is so fucking insane that I don't think Tory backbenchers would actually vote for it.

He was fucked either way, I'm afraid.

If you want to run the country, you don't get to challenge the popular belief that foreigners are stealing from everyone. It went unchallenged for too long, and it's fact now. The only thing that the rump of the public want to hear is how you're going to stop them.

Just needs the sun framing her heid in the background.

Must have been some amount of arguing about whether or not to go with the 'In Liz We Truss' headline.
