It was at first glance quite an amusing sight to see Gordon Brown absent from today’s EU Reform Treaty signing ceremony in Lisbon. But in reality, it was a national disgrace and an international embarrassment.
Leaving the rights and wrongs of the Treaty itself to one side, one cannot help but conclude that today’s no-show was yet another example of the Prime Minister’s natural instinct to “get offside” when the going gets tough.
His ten years as Chancellor were littered with such examples. When Blair was in a hole, Brown was generally nowhere to be seen.
So much for the Great Leader we were promised just a few months ago when he entered Number 10.
