A few believe that he should come clean about his past misconceptions, admitting that he, and the New Labour project, was all about adopting Thatcherite ideas about wealth creation, so that they could get hold of some money for public services.
But instead it is time for a coalition government to get us through the financial crisis.
Brown is a Prime Minister whose options are small and vanishing. The fact that his leadership has never been tested in "the court of public opinion" does not help at all. The most honest and helpful thing that Brown could do at present, is call an election, accepting that it is likely to result in a hung parliament.
A coalition government is the most suitable form of administration for Britain in the present period. One of Brown's early ambitions as Prime Minister was to form a "government of all the talents". What we need now is all hands on deck.
