Gordon Brown gets picky


A screen grab of a YouTube video
of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
Forget about Lord Turnbull's "Stalinist" jibe. Definitive evidence of Gordon Brown's unfitness for power has just swept the plogosphere*.

The chancellor, it emerges, was picking his nose and eating it during prime minister's questions this week, just before his owen budget speech. A certain amount of tie-wiping also occurred.

Could this lose the architect of a decade of economic growth/unhygienic control freak (delete as applicable) the premiership?

Could you vote for a man so oblivious to the TV cameras that he can't postpone his nasal probings?

Watch the video on YouTube. It's your democratic duty.

* Political blogosphere. If you had to ask, you're not in it.
