Genuinely not very different i dont think. Financial crisis still would’ve happened and he would most likely have lost the next election. It just would’ve been in 2012 instead of 2010.
It must've have been difficult for Gordon from the off, as he was following a PM who no matter his mistakes was full of charisma... In contrast Gordon was a glum looking fellow, whose smiles never looked comfortable who was of course constantly compared to his predecessor, that can't have been easy on its own, and that's without all the political crises that were to follow.
'It must've have been difficult for Gordon from the off, as he was following a PM who no matter his mistakes was full of charisma...' - No, he's problem was that he was useless. He had no 'moral' compass, he had no ideological basis. A Chancellor for 10 years when capiyalism wasbooming, he thought he was the genius causing it rather than the beneficiary. And charisma - Labour's greatest PM Clement Attlee had no charisma, but he had principles, a moral compass and an ideological position to work from. Brown was a bullying nonentity.
Nobody seems to have realised that Tony Blair made decisions so quickly, mainly because he was incredibly stupid and was unable to analyse anything in any depth before taking a decision, unlike Gordon Brown.
All governments run out of steam and voter confidence eventually.. indeed the presentational ability of tony blair to exude an air of confidence and conviction ,made gordons completely different manner look much more sombre and less photogenic too
I do agree with Vince Cable after seeking the job of prime minister for a such a long time, Brown seemed to run out of steam when he finally got it. By the time of the 2010 election, he appeared to be a beaten and broken man with nothing left. In fact his best speech of that whole campaign was probably his excellent and dignified resignation speech.
Gizo02 He saves us from a second financial crisis and he was the last Labour Leader to actually put the interests of the Working class before everything else he is probably one of the smartest people in modern politics
@@cbsmmv05erm, the crisis happened because his lax regulation allowed it to happen. Also, how was abolishing the 10p tax band helping the working class?

sadly, none of the Prime Ministers we've had since have "it" either. We seem to have bounced from worse to even worse ever since Blair left office. Even in the most recent tory leadership, there were so many better choices that the Tories could've gone with. But no. We've got Liz Truss. Ick.
Napoleon Bonaparte when considering promotion for his senior staff would ask ‘is he lucky’ Gordon Brown as PM was amazingly unlucky, crisis after crisis, thankfully for the UK the end was inescapable.
Rubbish! He was just the man at the wrong place at the wrong time. I think under the circumstances he has done well by forcing Tories into a coalition and had Libdem agreed he could have formed a government!!
I agree, I hated how Blair came out afterwards and said that he would've given Cameron more of a run for his money when it was Blair that made everyone hate new Labour in the first place
Khayrul Islam the coalition he was going for would only give him a Working Majority Of One and that would be a risky government it would have been a deadlock parliament by the end of the year if he formed a coalition

I think when your soo good in something & you stay for soo long on the fence giving ideas and what to be done u Start loosing it. And finally when you get inside now to do the real job yourself u become complacent because you have exhausted everything in the previous regime. It's like a movie that you have just watched u start loosing interest in it from watching again & again. This is what happened to Gordon.
Why labour not swap Gordon Brown with David Miliband? They don't have the ruthless streak that tories have with leaders. Why do they sit back and watch every leader fail?
One of the reasons for failure was the chancellor of the exchequer. He was idle at the wheel. The then French finance minister Christine Lagard had to prompt him - are you going to do anything about Northern Rock. This chap seems didn't know much about finance. Barclays wanted to buy Lehman in order to save it and avoid a financial collapse. Again he dithered.
Gordon Brown made poor people in London poorer, if not at first definitely in the last year's of trash New Labour. Now he's slithered back to his crevice in Scotland.
Holy cow I got to the end thinking this was an historical look, turns out this was done while he was still in office. Feel like a time traveler now. And btw, this was pretty damning portrayal of a sitting PM. They act like he's all washed up. He was, but its generally not cricket to say so in a contemporary documentary imo.
Gordon was Very Nieve, he should have looked not so far back in history. In 1976 James Callaghan took over from Harold Wilson, in 1978 the polls looked good for him/Labour and he (Just like Gordon) hesitated ... The Winter of Discontent came and he/Labour lost the 1979 General Election ... Gordon should have learned from that.
Oh SO TRUE it was the FIRST THING I NOTICED it obliterated EVERYTHING else I did not even notice his words had to track back to listen he was at that time on Radio 4 the moral maze so used to being “going to makeup “ to be fair Rawnsley was “ a bit that made up too “ the word that comes to mind regarding Gove ( in the round ) ghastly
If only Labour were like the Conservatives in that when they see a PM or leader is not delivering and causing them to fail in polls they remove them like they did with Truss recently. Brown and Corbyn could've had that happen to them.

Gordon Brown went wrong on May 20th 1997 when he said "The British economy of the future must be built not on the shifting sands of boom and bust" to the CBI. To then preside over the 2008 crash merely proved how naive he was as a Chancellor.
Well I guess if nothing else his sentiment was right, I mean in the long term its not ideal to have the economy growing and contracting on an unsteady boom and bust environment, the issue is that no government can control the markets as so much can affect them so much, so yes I can see that for many his comments could have come across as naive, from a good place but yes naive.
How different British political history would’ve been if the 2007 election was called: no hung parliament of 2010, no Tory-Lib Dem coalition, no austerity, no destruction of our public institutions, no worsening socio-economic inequalities, and in all likelihood no Brexit. If only...
Austerity never happened. Government spending has surged under the tory party. This is a leftist tory party in charge that loves government intervention. You should actually like them...

Brown brought most of this own himself. The man looks always miserable, he believes his colleagues at work when he doesn't get his way and he doesn't know how to talk to the average voter in the country. The man was just very much out of touch. I am very surprised that he did not face a leadership challenge
Yes, but hindsight is a great thing to have. When Boris won the 2019 election, we had no idea of the shit storm that would hit us from March 2020 onward.
Brown's the worst PM we've had this century (though none of them have been that great IMO) but I can empathize with him a bit. Maybe politics just wasn't something he was born to do, Brown ought to have done something else for a career.
Every Tory since has been worse. Some people might say Cameron was better, but Austerity and Brexit were his doing and are the reason for the state we’re in today
Corbyn almost won the GE in 2017 , in 2019 it was about brexit and we lost. The person that was the architect of Labours brexit policy is now leader. Boris Johnson is PM with an 80 seat majority.
As much as I actually respected Corbyn as a person a lot of his diehard fans are hella deluded like a lot of the far left.... He was still behind May in polls so how did he nearly win? Yeah he did better then than in 2019 but he didn't nearly win! This is coming from me as a soft left/centre left person that hates the Far right and the tories as well.
