July 28, 2008

Gordon Brown may be on holiday but it's unlikely he's having a relaxing time.

The latest polls make gloomy reading for the Prime Minister.

A fifth of Labour voters think rival David Cameron would do a better job.

Rumours are also gathering of MPs plotting to mount a leadership challenge.

Christian PR manager Gavin Bostock tells Premier the summer break from Parliament will save Mr Brown for the time being.

Meanwhile Christian Lib Dem London Mayoral Candidate Brian Paddick is discussing his future role within the party today.

The openly gay former police officer came third in the poll behind Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone.

He's meeting party leader Nick Clegg for talks.

Brian tells Premier he's going to keep talking about his faith, whatever job he takes.
