Brown comes good

There is a title I didn't expect to write.

Brown made an apology for the whole of parliment in a speech to a nursing union conference today. Watching the speech (which you the reader can here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8043499.stm) I have to say I'm impressed.

Brown looks vary awkward, he kept walking around and not really keeping eye contact. Strangly I found this more reassuring. Afterall the expenses row is not something they can be proud of and if he'd given a polished confident speech I'd have not been convinced by him at all. As it was he seemed genuinly shamed and awkward which was quite appropriate.

He also did better than Cameron. Cameron wanted MPs to apologise for the system. Brown apologised for the loss of trust and the fact that MPs had upset the public. This is the attitude that politicians should be taking. Well done Gordon
