He told the BBC the government “didn’t cover as well as we should have” losses to low earners without children and pensioners aged 60 to 64.

Mr Brown said he was “listening” and “learning” as prime minister.

Didn’t cover as well? I’ll lose over £300 a year! All because I don’t have children – isn’t that a bonus btw? I’m not cluttering the world with yet more humans, not using materials, not adding to the rubbish we all produce, and I get f***ed because of it.

And I would have thought that by the time you’re PM you have stopped learning and should know how to do the job, or have learned advisors to tell you at least!

I hope that Labour lose the local elections tomorrow, badly. Maybe they’ll realise the big mistake they’ve made.
