In Politics Weekly this week, Nick Watt asks whether Gordon Brown can ever recover after support for Labour sank to 25% in this week's Guardian/ICM poll.
Andrew Sparrow, who covered the Henley byelection for guardian.co.uk, tells us how Labour is licking its wounds after sinking to fifth place behind the Greens and the BNP in Henley.
Simon Hoggart, the Guardian's parliamentary sketchwriter, gives us his assessment of Gordon Brown on his first anniversary. He says the Brown family are unlikely to be popping open the Sainsbury champagne.
Joining Nick round the table are Martin Kettle, the Guardian's assistant editor and columnist. Martin says the Henley result is dreadful for Labour and good for the Tories. But the Liberal Democrats, whose share of the vote remained roughly the same, will be worried that they can no longer dent the Tories in southern England, he adds.
Libby Brooks, the Guardian columnist, says that everything came crashing down for Gordon Brown when he decided not to hold an election last autumn. That followed what Libby called the prime minister's "lovely honeymoon summer".
John Harris, the Guardian columnist, who thought last year that Gordon Brown might be a breath of fresh air, says it all went wrong for the prime minister within weeks of his move into No 10.
