Gordon and Sarah Brown

I wholeheartedly agree floradora. I just wish we had people like Gordon Brown in Westminster but even more so at Holyrood. The combination of brains and integrity is sadly lacking.

And how did he justify being a bedfellow of Blair? Surely he must lose some Brownie point for that.

Yes, he is almost too much of a gentleman for this back stabbing, greedy world. He seemed to be too trusting with the banks but possibly his hands were tied legally in lots of ways.

An amazing couple. Gordon Brown's fault, tragically, is that his Protestant Ethics up-bringing led him to believe that Bankers could be trusted. Trusted to make lots of money (nought wrong with that if done properly) AND then pay fair taxes to support the less fortunate. Tragically, his trust was misplaced, and we know what happened next. A good man, a good couple, for absolutely sure.

I would agree to some extent, but cannot forget the promises he made on the eve of the 2014 Scottish Referendum including almost full autonomy for Scotland if the people voted NO to Independence. Not one of these promises was kept.

I agree wholeheartedly with all the above.

They are to be admired.

Both for their intelligence and integrity, empathy and kindness.

I have never voted labour in my life - maybe time to start!!

We have forgotten what it is like to have politicians who understand about service and integrity.
