Gordon Brown has made an attempt to retract his derogatory comments made about X Factor’s John and Edward Grimes last week. In a radio interview, Brown branded the boys as ‘not very good’, Labour then followed up by producing a mocked-up poster of David Cameron and George Osborne as the Irish teenagers under the slogan: “You won’t be laughing if they win.”

However in typical politician style, Gordon Brown has done a bit of a back track and told This Morning:

“I got into a bit of a problem because I said I did not think they were very good at singing but they are very good at other things.”

“I don’t know who’s going to win but I rather burned my boats with Jedward.”

The Prime Minister said he shared his young sons’ view that Stacey Solomon was “very good”.

But proving that you just can’t pretend to be down with the kids, Gordon made a faux pas when he added: “Daryl they like; Stacey they like.”

Daryl? Surely you mean Danyl Mr Brown?

What on earth is Britain coming to? Things have gotten bad when the Prime Minister of a country has the time to film a reality TV show, but it seems that is exactly what Gordon Brown intends to do.

MP Hazel Blears was papped carrying an email printout which detailed plans for a new TV show, titled Junior PM, in which young aspiring politicians would be judged by no other than PM Gordon Brown.

A spokesman for Blears confirmed that a reality show was in the works: “It is a very worthy programme idea. These young people would engage and have some kind of competition, and then there would be a way of electing a young prime minister for a day.

“The idea is to get more young people interested in politics. But it hasn’t been commissioned yet. It is very early days.”

Now shout if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Gordon Brown have more important things to do than stroke his own ego on a TV show? Shouldn’t he be out there saving our economy from impending recession or something?
