Forgive me for being so brazen as to highlight my getting something right - but a prediction I made in a CentreRight post in December appears to have been on the money.
On 19th December I wrote:
"I would wager that we in Britain will be seeing even less of Gordon Brown in 2009... I fancy he'll be taking every opportunity he can next year to escape Britain to strut his stuff on the world stage in the hope of further suggesting that our problems are not the fault of his Government and that he's somehow seeking to persuade others to act to solve them."
How true that now seems, with Gordon Brown today missing Prime Minister's Questions for the second time this month on account of being overseas.
Even if he must insist on gallivanting around the world, can the Prime Minister not plan his travels so that he can at the very least be held to account for what he's up to just once a week in the House of Commons? Is it that much to ask?
