Just breaking as an exclusive on Channel 4 news, he said he's going to stay for a full third term. Thatcher said the same at this period in her premiership, she lasted 3 more years.
Brown was meant to get power sometime in the second term, I guess it was because at the time Blair was in his shadow given Brown was an established MP.
But one stupid policy (e.g. Thatcher's Poll tax, Callaghan's Winter of Discontent) loss of public support (Thatcher and Callaghan) and the party will realise they are better off without him and he'll be powerless, just like the Milk Snatcher.
