Brown on the Bounce!

We welcome Prime Minister Gordon Brown to 10 Downing Street - UK's hottest seat of power! I personally applaud the transition/succession act of the Labour Party in this regard. Bravo folks, well done!

Has he started well? No question. What with his baptism of fire! The failed terror attack. The floods. Now, "food and mouth" disease.

Has he stood firm and tall? The polls say YES. And I agree.

Will he be further, even fuller tested? You bet.

But here is the swell one for me: His sombre, solid and rousing CALL for urgent and concerted ACTION on the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Deftly delivered at the instance of UN Sec-Gen Ban Ki-Moon, to a choice audience in UN headquarters, New York, Mr Brown has rightly taken on the world. Good strike!

Then the meeting at Camp David - the two GBs - President George Bush and Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Good start. And a healthy, if tentative, meeting of minds.

Welcome GB, and very best wishes! The world be now ya stage.
