From @LabourList Alistair Darling has just been on Sky News, where he said: "I did not claim on 2 housees at the same time. I reclaimed the cost of the service charge. I left my flat in Kennington in September 2007. So I'm going to repay…
By Lewis Goodall "We take inspiration from the unyielding determination of our pioneers: tough times did not diminish their idealism but made them even more determined that to transform lives you have to transform society". Amidst the gloom…
By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982 UPDATE: I've now seen the interview with Gordon Brown and do think it was a more personable performance than I've seen from the PM for a while. There was a degree of honesty, and perhaps some over-compensating…
By Dan McCurry Gordon Brown came out fighting at the CBI last week, but Cameron comes out fighting every day and that's how he'll win. The speech Gordon made shows his talent and makes Cameron look like a minnow, but we need more of it as…
From @LabourList TOPLINE RESULTS: 62% of Labour members and supporters sampled think Gordon Brown should not be leader of the Labour Party at the next general election. The number of Labour supporters who believe Mr. Brown should be…

From LabourList / @LabourList At today's PMQ's, David Cameron is likely to rasie the much-mooted Number 10 petition calling for the Prime Minister to resign. 27,000 people have now signed the petition, which - as Iain Dale points out, is…
By David Beeson The outcry for Gordon Brown to apologise for all sorts of things shows no sign of dying down. This might be the time for him to consider issuing an apology - but model it on the approach adopted by Ségolène Royal in France…
By Mike Ion I have huge respect for Alan Johnson and think he is one of our party's genuine class acts, but I think he is wrong to argue that Gordon Brown does not need to apologise for the McBride fiasco. The truth is that politics at all…
By Alastair Campbell I promise that my tweet last night - wondering whether David Cameron as Prime Minister could have delivered the G20 deal - was not merely rhetorical. If the polls are right, and don't change some time soon, then Cameron…
