Gordon Brown wants people to believe his government is only interested in taking action - not pushing out press releases. (BBC)
Except that is all he seems to do. Lots of press releases, but no vision. Education is supposedly his "passion" and health his "priority", yet what has he done?Brown is presidential. He runs the government by mobile phone. He has shown in his few months in the job that he is as controlling as he ever was whilst at the Treasury. He can't allow any authority out of his hands - even to his Cabinet.
Gordon isn't going to stop governing by press release. It is the only way he knows how to. He might want people to believe that he isn't, but that fact won't change. Government by press release is here to stay for as long as Gordon Brown is.
