Original
Story on Gordon Brown From www.FT.com Stock markets
crumble and banks are brought to their knees, but as confidence
leaches from the financial markets the crisis appears to be having
a galvanising effect on at least one person: Gordon Brown.
The British
prime minister’s poll ratings in recent weeks have
risen almost as sharply as the FTSE 100 has fallen, halving
the lead of the opposition Conservatives. The greater the
anguish on the faces in City wine bars, the more serene
Mr Brown appears to be. Something strange is happening in
British politics.
Until the
latest trauma hit the markets, the country appeared to have made
up its mind about Mr Brown. Just over a year into the job, the
57-year-old leader was deemed to be uncharismatic, hapless and
indecisive. He was taking Labour to certain electoral defeat in
2010 – unless he was toppled in a party coup first.
After a solid
start, Mr Brown had transformed himself – in the wounding
words of the Liberal Democrat politician Vince Cable – “from
Stalin to Mr Bean”. After a week in the eye of the economic
crisis, the time has come to ask: is the man of steel back?
This month
Mr Brown has taken two decisions so extraordinarily bold they
have forced the country to look at him with fresh eyes. The prime
minister is trying to reinvent himself as the leader Britain turns
to in a national emergency. Or as he puts it: “Serious people
for serious times.”
The first
act was to reshuffle his cabinet to strengthen its economic clout,
including the jaw-dropping decision to bring back from Brussels
the European Union trade commissioner, Peter Mandelson. Mr Brown
despised Mr Mandelson – a close ally of Tony Blair –
for the best part of a decade and the feeling was mutual. Mr Mandelson
seemed as surprised as anyone to be invited to become Mr Brown’s
business secretary. But the prime minister’s intent was
clear: in a crisis, forget personal animosity and bring in the
best people. Mr Mandelson’s appointment was in “the
national interest”.
In case anyone
missed the message, the prime minister simultaneously set up a
National Economic Council – an echo of the body set up by
Bill Clinton in the downturn of the early 1990s – to manage
the worsening crisis. Mr Brown seems happy for this to be described
as “a war cabinet”.
