UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is lampooned in the Daily Telegraph with a naval metaphor:
The great battleship wallows helplessly in heavy seas. It has lost power, its steering gear is shot to pieces and there is even something wrong with its huge guns, which can no longer be trained on the enemy but fire occasional defiant salvoes into empty space.
Only its thick iron plating has saved this mighty ship from going to the bottom, but one feels it is only a matter of time and it could be sunk as early as tomorrow morning.
This is the melancholy spectacle presented by Gordon Brown at Prime Minister's questions. No longer does he steam majestically at 30 knots, the terror of all smaller craft.
Instead he is reduced to the miserable expedient of laying down smoke in a vain attempt to hide his position.
*laughs heartily*
