Gordon Brown, it has emerged, does not believe "it is time to adapt and rethink" the way he has been operating as prime minister. This was, however, the impression created by an article written for the, somewhat obscure, Parliamentary Monitor magazine.
No 10 is now making it clear that Mr Brown was promising merely to adapt and rethink the policies of the past which are no longer appropriate for the new economic challenges.
To decode, he is promising to rethink Blairism and not Brownism, as many people assumed when the article appeared. There has been much speculation that Gordon Brown is about to humbly unveil a rethink of his approach. This is not it.
