Keeping the economy on track is Gordon Brown's "sole focus"

Hmmm, is that a sensible thing for the Prime Minister to say? Obviously he should be concerned about the state of the economy, after all he is largely responsible for the dire state that it is in. However, from now on, is he going to completely ignore the threat from Islamic terrorists, the major problems with the NHS, the ever increasing crime and fear of crime, uncontrolled immigration and the tensions that that is exacerbating, etc. etc. etc.

Has Gordon Brown reached the point where he really has little more than a tenuous grip on reality? I think that the upcoming local election results will cause more than a little panic amongst Labour backbenchers who fear for their seats on the "gravy train".
