Welcome to our May LiveWire
Fuel protests, a climb down on the abolition of the 10p tax rate and a by-election defeat have all increased the pressure on Gordon Brown and his Government.
With rumours of back bench dissatisfaction, continuing falls in property prices and fears of a recession looming large the annual 76 day parliamentary summer break can not come quick enough for Gordon Brown!
If like Gordon your thoughts are turning to your summer break then please take five minutes to let us know if you have any ideas or suggestions for LiveWire. We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
