Gordon Brown Faces Tough Task Ahead
The Biritish Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has said he is “determined” to lead Labour into the the next general election, insisting the party is on course for victory. Labour finished third in the european parliament elections, getting just 16% of the vote. But Mr Brown told the News of the World: “We must and we will win.” In a Guardian interview on Saturday, the prime minister admitted recent political events had made him think he could “walk away from this tomorrow”. Apart from the humiliating poll results, the prime minister has faced a failed backbench plot to oust him, a string of resignations from his government and public anger over MPs’ expenses.
