Further proof comes from Nick Robinson...
Gordon Brown, it has emerged, does not believe "it is time to adapt and rethink" the way he has been operating as prime minister. This was, however, the impression created by an article written for the, somewhat obscure, Parliamentary Monitor magazine. No 10 is now making it clear that Mr Brown was promising merely to adapt and rethink the policies of the past which are no longer appropriate for the new economic challenges. To decode, he is promising to rethink Blairism and not Brownism, as many people assumed when the article appeared. There has been much speculation that Gordon Brown is about to humbly unveil a rethink of his approach. This is not it.I sense more mobile phone destruction...

It's good to keep up with the Kremlinology.

I agree. I can't believe that if the PM wanted to signal a major change of direction, he would do it in the Parliamentary Monitor.
Now, if he had been writing for Total Politics then that would be different.
Are you saying that Control Freak Brown didn't know an article bearing his name was being published and that he didn't read it over?
Eh? Weren't we meant to have a new approach last summer?
Is this re-launch no. 37 ?
Quite a Scoop for you there, Iain.
You would think Gordon had used the hints of change and favour card once too often - but the Labour party will fall for in Manchester again.
If this is true it shows Brown in an absolutely awful light. Childishly unthinking. McCain is ahead in the polls. Does the bogeyman not care at all what the leading candidate might think? Can he be so sure Obama will win? Maybe he doesn't think he'll survive personally to suffer for it. Anyway it's just crass. What a tit!
Far away in a remote underground facility, the Large Nokia Collider prepares for action.
Now you know why he finds it difficult to delegate. Leave it to the grunts and they screw up.
"And in the electrifying US presidential campaign, it is the Democrats who are generating the ideas to help people through more difficult times. To help prevent people from losing their home, Barack Obama has proposed a Foreclosure Prevention Fund to increase emergency pre-foreclosure counselling, and help families facing repossession."
This article was written in the first person singular and signed by Gordon Brown. That it might have been actually concocted by someone else
( was this person a party member or a civil servant- we must know the answer as this is elementary pary work ?)
is irrelevant. Brwon must have scanned it and nodded it through.
If not then his system is at fault and he still to blame .
It is also elemantary that you don't comment on elections in other countries - Brown or his minion don't appear to appreciate that.
The Opposition should make a lot of this .
