The Guardian's panel – Simon Jenkins, Jonathan Freedland, Jackie Ashley, Seumas Milne and Martin Kettle – deliver their verdict on the Building Britain's Future document.
Polly Toynbee in the Guardian says "it's no good taunting the Tories with pledges that no one will believe if Labour never spells out how they might be paid for".
Michael White on the Guardian's politics blog asks how Brown's new entitlements will be enforced.
Rachel Sylvester in the Times says Brown's policy package was "a relaunch made up of rehashed policy announcements and repackaged spending commitments, less a national plan than a national repeat" and that, privately, many ministers are in despair about Labour's prospects.
Peter Riddell in the Times says Lord Mandelson's influence is obvious in the document, "a mixture of an economic recovery plan, a draft legislative programme and first draft of Labour's election manifesto".
The Times editorial says Brown's plans are "worthless unless they are accompanied by credible spending plans".
Steve Richards in the Independent says Brown's announcement marks the start of "the longest election campaign in recent history".
The Sun editorial says "this ramshackle, paralysed and incompetent government is now either utterly delusional about the frightening scale of our economic crisis, or it is taking the entire nation for fools".
Matthew Taylor on his blog says it's not clear where local government fits into the new regime, although he understands that there's "some good news for councils coming later this week".
Nick Robinson on his blog quotes a Westminster mandarin as saying of the Brown document: "Stick a red rose on the front and it could be a Labour manifesto."
Mary Riddell in the Daily Telegraph says that Brown has the opportunity to be "more visionary", but it's not clear whether he will take it.
Edward Heathcoat Amory in the Daily Mail describes the package as "a muddled mixture of policies that have already been announced, or stolen from the Tories".
Martin Bright on his blog wonders why Brown did not announce these plans a year ago.
