The media have had a field day. The Prime Minister insults a voter and the radio waves and TV channels are abuzz with....well, not quite what you would imagine. If the BBC 'Campaign Show' and late night Radio 5 listeners are to be believed, the Prime Minister got a surprising amount of support from the people of the UK.
He is human after all. We all make mistakes, and he did at least apologise.
However, one cannot help but think that Labour will find it difficult to recover from this. They had an uphill battle to win the election, and it makes it tougher now.
The one positive from this is that Brown now has nothing to lose. What is the worst thing that could possibly happen? I expect he will either perform brilliantly tonight, or let the events of yesterday weigh him down. Call me crazy, but I suspect it will be the former.
There is still one problem. The opinion polls are still not in Labour's favour, being behind both the Tories and Lib Dems. Long term survival for Labour could depend on one thing. If the Tories are tempted by a coalition with the Lib Dems, who would be left to be the opposition, if not the Labour party?
