Sums up the situation to perfection this morning.

This government is neither dead nor alive: like Count Dracula it is undead.
It exists for no other purpose than Brown’s survival. It would be comical if
only the condition of the country were not so serious. The recession may have
done its worst but the state’s debt crisis is just beginning. Only a strong
government can take the unpopular measures required to curb public spending.
