The Budget & Brown

Nothing really much new from Brown bar the same old bombast - he's trailed most of what he's said in the press and the PBR already anyway. David Cameron's response has been tremendous so far. What a start. He's genuinely inspiring - clear, convincing, eloquent, but most of all cutting. The message from this for a Brown premiership is clear: game on. The Tories have done their homework and done it well.

An analogue politician in a digital age. He is the past.
