My wages are going to be cut by 3 grand a year because the company I work for have employed polish workers. My house price is dwindling by the day my utility bills are off the scale, my car will soon be on par with the space shuttle to run, labour Mps are sending stupid amount on there digs. I'm british but not stupid I didn't vote for Gordon Brown so a word from the British public stop trying to be Tony Blair AND GO AWAY.

Ebenezer Brown, govan, scotland

Even a complete economic U-turn would not do much at this point as it is unclear what kind of budget deficit has been created during Gordon Brown's premiership, and it could be that the economy hits rock bottom right about the time the general election must be called. By all accounts it is a moment of worry for the general public when the truth about the spending is revealed, at least if one starts to count all the headlines how money has been wasted by the decisions of No.10. I'd be fine with a Tory government but I expect David Cameron to show he's the man for the job. And it's quite a job: steer England clear of the current mess we're in.

Andrew, Kent,

Its not just the economy which is a disaster just waiting to happening. People are increasingly angry with Labour's destruction of our society with open door immigration, promotion of minorities, multicultralism, the falling standards in schools, crime, taxation, real inflation, etc. etc,

chris, woodbridge, suffolk

His mannerisms, look, arrogant attitude and contempt for the British and for anyone who doesn't follow is ideals really winds me up.In fact the whole governement is arrogant, they treat the general public like we are thick and wish to enforce further and furhte control over our lives.
The UK is now a mini USSR with dictates from the 'Elite'
As for Ed Balls, well the name says it all to a T

Geoffrey Fish, Potefract, UK

Decline in civilisation, Chris in Swinton obviously lives in a different world from mine.

My town has good schools, low crime the police are on the streets.

As for everyone criticism of the level of debt in Britain, does anyone want Governments to regulate how much money they are allowed to borrow. If your debts are too high it is your own fault!

"Good old Gordon" - William Thomson

I nearly choked on my cornflakes when I read that...

James Steer, Nottingham,

We are experiencing nothing less than a decline of civilisation under Labour: corrupt, malign and wrong. Their only grace in all this is their incompetence!

Poor old Gordon.
One of many to end up wishing he had not got what he devoted his life to securing.
"Just not up to it", in Mr Attlee's famous words.

There is no 'last hope' . Doomed !

Benzo, Nr Chelmsford,

Labour's 10 year illusion is now unfolding and I have an eerie feeling of 'rats leaving a sinking ship'. The UK has to go through a painful economic adjustment and no politician can change that fact. However, Gordon Brown could do something good for the UK and start cutting public spending to bring the public finances back to a sustainable level. He will not get re-elected but he may live with the thought that he started us on the road to recovery.

Steve Marchant, Broadhempston,

Were all doomed doomed, where brown robs the poor to pay the rich we all know the end is near, but not as we know it, we have towait for the 18k to 35k to vote and aconservative government.

michael joseph heavey, cahersiveen>adams towns, madness

Good old Gordon. I never thought I'd say that, but we should give thanks that he is hastening the end of the dreaded New Labour.

William Thomson, Guildford, UK

Brown's failure to call an election when he had the chance makes him one of the great losers in political history. He will never get another chance, he is a dead man walking.

Christopher H, Canberra, Australia

There is a saying - "some men are discovered, others are found out". It would appear that Gordon Brown has now been found out at last. Why has it taken so long, is it a case of a bully who has now been exposed as weak and whose so-called skills were just an illusion. Perhaps Milliband was right when he said that we might be wishing that Tony Blair had never gone.
