An extraordinary article in the Telegraph today, to the effect that Gordon Brown's eyesight is failing him. What is extraordinary is that the information seems to come from Team Brown: Damian McBride, Brown's chief spin doctor until the reshuffle reports 'His sight isn't very good.'; another official said: "If I want him to reply to an email, I always make sure it's in at least 36 point." That is five times as large as standard print size.
Normally one would expect such revelations to be the prelude to a resignation, but all the signs are that the financial crisis is doing Brown's poll ratings a lot of good and people say he is enjoying himself for the first time since becoming PM. A PM's resignation, even if it is Brown, would not go down well with the markets at this time.
We shall see.
