Gordo should be a member of the University of the bleeding obvious, he has admitted that it has been a "difficult year" but said he had not shirked any of the "tough decisions" he has faced.
Speaking at his final press conference before the summer break, he said he had been "tested by events" such as the financial crisis and expenses scandal.
He accepted these have had a "short-term" impact on Labour's popularity.
Yes it has if you call the next twenty years “short term”, Mr Brown told journalists that the past year, in which he had seen off several threats to his leadership, had been difficult, but not the "most difficult" he had ever encountered.
He said Labour had taken the "toughest possible" decisions on banking regulation and Parliamentary reform when crises arose in both areas.
More bollocks from Gord and his gang, he was the Chancellor who decided that de-regulation of the financial sector and allowing market forces to run riot was the best thing for the economy.
He also said “We have got to spend through this recession so that we can invest for the future," what bloody future, we have a national debt that will take decades to pay off, our pensions are firked, we will all have to work until we are 95, there are stringing cuts about to appear in education, public services, and health care (don’t believe the hype).
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson told Mr Brown a poll had found four out of five voters thought there would have to be substantial spending cuts - and asked him if he thought they were wrong:
"It depends how you ask these questions," he replied.
"If you were asking people do you want your numbers of nurses and numbers of doctors and the improvements in your hospitals to be safeguarded, they would say yes.
"I think the answer from the British public when you look at specific services on which people depend, is that they would prefer to see these services protected."
Wrong, what we want is a Government that actually governs; not one that has passed the buck for the last decade saying that devolving power away from parliament is good for the electorate.
Enjoy the long Summer Holidays Gord, and get used to doing nothing, because that is what your life will be like after the next election.
Next week is apparently Silly week so I look forward to reading and writing “interesting” blogs about politics. Mind you I think it has started already.
