Psychologist Lucy Beresford tells BBC Daily Politics Gordon Brown is ‘deeply insecure’ and bringing Peter Mandelson back was “Freudian” bordering on “self-mutilating behaviour”.
I watched, rather as a snake watches a mongoose, as Lucy Bresford went on to tell us that Brown seemed a lot more confident – no fiddling with hair et al – and seemed to put it all down to insecurity and a need of self love, that he has ‘quite a great inferiority complex’ ….’which habitually he has compensated for by over spending… by compulsive spending… often with money he doesn’t have’ and suggests that we collude with a ‘lot of his dysfunctional behaviour’ and then delivered the coup de gras by saying that to give him love may be what he wants but may not be what he needs. The interviewer looked astonished. The other two guests did their best to analyse the return of Mandelson in a rather more ‘positive’ light.
Good to know, as we toss about in the eye of a financial maelstrom, that Brown is striding the earth like a colossus, telling everyone that the world should follow his ideas on how to deal with the crisis, that the country is being run by a dysfunctional prime minister and that all will be well. I gather that it was Mental Health Week last week…. well… there we are.

Update Saturday 03.41 am: Fatcat conference for bankers in Italy
TOP Tory William Hague joined a sunshine bash for City bankers in Italy — just days after the Government announced a £500billion bank bail-out using taxpayers’ cash.
And on that note it may be sensible if I hit the futon – although there appears to be a party going on in a nearby boat – this is good. They are playing some good music.
