A slightly odd comment given that, if his autobiography is anything to go by, he's actually lukewarm (at best!) about the actual achievements of his government (devolution especially). I mean, he's not exactly wrong, but I wonder whether it's for the wrong reasons.

They were without any doubt very successful. The"left-wing" part is open to debates, though.

Rhetoric aside, no different to any other social democrat-led government of that time then. Of course he said 'centre-left'; I don't think you'd ever catch him going any further

But I wonder what he actually meant, for the reasons I mentioned earlier.

Gordon Brown was many things (and has been called plenty of others) but vacuous he certainly wasn't...

Thinking about this, but was he actually riffing off the Carlsberg adverts?
