Brown’s going home present and a little word of advice

Chile’s President, Michelle Bachelet, said at a joint press conference with Brown that her economy was in good shape:

….because of our decision during the good times to save some of the money for the bad times.

She went on:

….so when we develop our fiscal stimulus plan we could make one that is 2.8 per cent of GDP.

Nick Robinson, Brown’s new spin doctor, concludes:

Ms Bachelet appeared to be unaware of how unwelcome her comments were.

Well said Nick!

The crisis Brown faces when he touches down at Heathrow is the one of his own leadership.

Remember Sunny Jim.  Whatever you do Gordon, stay in the front of the plane on your trip back and avoid the press pack when you land.
