Lady Scotland: Brown is a man without principle

The job of a Prime Minister is to show leadership.

The job of a Prime Minister is not to hide behind the wording of statements.

The job of a Prime Minister is not use the cover of the Cabinet Secretary.

The job of a Prime Minister is not to get the minister involved to say sorry.

Any minister who is seen to break the law should be removed from office or act with honour and resign.

Brown’s credibility or lack of it is one thing, but by failing to act as he should, Brown has damaged the credibility of the UK Government.
