      New Election Loss Could Be Knock-Out Punch for Brown

      The crushing defeat for the Labor Party yesterday in an election in a working class district of England could spell disaster for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, reports the Guardian . The opposition Tory candidate beat the ruling party choice in a by-election to fill a death vacancy by a whopping margin in the decaying northern England industrial town of Crewe—the kind of place considered a bedrock of Labor support.

      West's Right Wingers Are Banking Left

      There’s a distinct leftward tilt rippling across the western world, Gabor Steingart observes in Der Spiegel . From John McCain to England’s David Cameron to Germany’s Angela Merkel, conservative leaders are softening up and drifting toward the middle. To see why, one needs only look at three of the world’s marquee cities: Baghdad, Beijing and New York. More »

      Outlook Dark for Britain's Brown

      British PM Gordon Brown suffered his worst ratings yet today, falling behind Conservative Party leader David Cameron in every category in a new survey. The Labour leader is scrambling to win back public favor after three in four people said he was doing a bad job, with almost half calling his governance very bad, the Guardian reports. More »

      McCain Cozies Up to UK's Brown

      John McCain began his visit to Europe in London today, where he met with PM Gordon Brown and praised him as a "very strong leader," the Guardian reports. McCain and Brown discussed Iraq, the global economy, and climate change, but when asked about British plans to withdraw troops from Iraq, the presumptive GOP nominee declined to give his opinion.

      Thatcher Leaves Hospital

      Margaret Thatcher is back home after an overnight stay in a London hospital triggered by a "fainting episode," a spokesman says. Tests showed nothing more serious than that for the former British PM, the Guardian reports. Thatcher, 82, who suffered multiple strokes in 2005, smiled and waved to reporters upon arriving home. "She will have a nice restful few days," the spokesman said. More »

      UK Tories Give Hillary a Hand

      Since David Cameron became leader in 2005, Britain's Conservative Party has moved steadily to the political center on issues from climate change to gay rights. That shift has alienated the Tories from their American cousins, the Republicans, and in an election year the division has become especially acute. As the race heats up, writes the Sunday Telegraph , the modernizing wing of the Conservatives is lending a hand to Hillary Clinton. More »

      Two More Discs Missing in UK Data Fiasco

      The fallout from the lost data fiasco in Britain continues, as the Times of London reveals that two more unencrypted discs containing sensitive personal information have been reported missing from the nation's tax agency. Gordon Brown faced down a furious opposition in Prime Minister's Questions yesterday. The PM has employed a "masochism strategy": take the hit now to keep Alistair Darling, his chancellor, in his job. More »

      Dislike Deeper Than Politics for UK Foes

      In London this week, a full slate of public appearances has forced Gordon Brown and David Cameron to act chummy and smile for the cameras. Yet as a columnist for the Telegraph observes, the Labour prime minister and Conservative opposition leader seem barely capable of having a conversation. Their mutual hatred is something unseen in Britain since Margaret Thatcher's days. More »

      Tory Poll Surge Batters Brown

      British PM Gordon Brown took a beating this week as a new poll showed the opposition Tories surging to their highest levels of popular support in 15 years, and even some Labourites came out of the woodwork to attack his vision for the future. Support for the Conservatives rose 5 points to 43%, compared with 36%  for Brown's Labour Party, the Daily Telegraph reports. More »

      UK Opposition Leader Calls On Governator

      David Cameron, the UK Tory leader, is in California to meet with politicians and tech gurus and to pitch himself, rather than Gordon Brown, as the future of Britain. Only two weeks ago Cameron's career was in free fall, but after a stellar performance at the Conservative Party's conference and Brown's disastrous about-face on calling an election, Cameron is riding high in the polls and the press.

      Tories Try to Fight Off Early UK Election

      Britain's Conservatives are having their annual meeting this week, and the party is desperate to put on a brave face and scare Gordon Brown away from an early election. But as David Cameron, the Tories' 40-year-old modernizing leader, prepares for his make-or-break speech tomorrow, one columnist reports that in private the party is wondering if it would be better just to lose.
