摘要

The poetry of Alfred Tennyson is the kind of thing Gordon Brown, perhaps Britain's most literate prime minister since Winston Churchill, takes with him on the reading marathons he calls holidays. Yet even Mr Brown, now on his summer break in East Anglia (see next story), will struggle to enjoy the Victorian poet laureate's observation that "authority forgets a dying king". For it hits too close to home.rnMr Brown, who replaced Tony Blair as prime minister only 13 months ago, may soon be toppled by colleagues who have lost confidence in his ill-starred premiership. On July 24th his party suffered a by-election defeat in Glasgow East, hitherto one of Labour's safest seats. It was the latest of many proofs of Mr Brown's unpopularity, following by-election routs elsewhere, an abysmal showing at May's local elections, the loss of London's mayoralty to a Conservative and months of opinion polls that put the Tories up to 20 percentage points ahead of Labour.
