Yes, Gordon Brown is serious, but as he said, there’s a lot to be serious about. His speech to party conference showed to the doubters and nay-sayers, what those of us who have never doubted him know.

His passionate commitment to this country and all it’s people. His passionate commitment to this country and all it’s people. His unwavering belief in the fundamental values of our party. A fair future. A fair chance. Fair rules and, a fair say. For all. Not the few; but for all. From the beginning of life to the end.

Extending free nursery places to all 2 year olds. Eliminating child Poverty by 2020 and enshrining that pledge in law. Enabling a million more families to access the internet and broadband. Billions of pounds invested in medical research so this country can lead the way in beating disease. No more prescription charges for those battling cancer and over the next few years, no charges for any sufferer of long term illness. And for those, as Gordon said ‘rebuilt Britain from then ashes of war’, pensions linked to earnings, including equality for women, a greater protection against the costs of care.

All as the PM said, causes are worth fighting for. Britain is NOT broken, and Gordon Brown, with his honesty, integrity, experience and humanity is the man to make the future better and greater for all of us.
