When Evan Davis interviewed Gordon Brown on the Today programme this morning Evan, as expected, didn’t give him such as easy ride as Andrew Marr did yesterday on BBC1. A couple of questions in particular produced an answer I thought worth highlighting:

When asked about Damian McBride Brown said “If people make a mistake they go. ”The Prime Minister’s application of that doctrine has clearly been very selective but in particular the fact that he himself hasn’t gone implies he still doesn’t recognise his own failings, particularly while he was Chancellor.

Answering a question about whether he would resign if the results of the Euro election were very bad for Labour he said “I am not arrogant. I listen to people.” Any comment on that reply would be superfluous!
