Feb 09: our expert poll panel

By Channel 4 News

Updated on 04 February 2009

Channel 4 News's expert panel discuss the results of our exclusive YouGov poll and what they mean for Gordon Brown.


Polly Toynbee

Polly Toynbee

Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist. The veteran left-wing writer was seen as a key supporter of Gordon Brown during the Blair years, and in June 2007 described his cabinet as "the most genuinely united government in living memory" and "as decent and clever a team of ministers as ever graced the cabinet table".

But the PM appears to have disappointed: on the first anniversary of Brown's premiership, she penned a column with the headline "A year on, Brown is yet to run out of steam, but his ship is plainly sinking."


David Hill

He left Downing Street when Tony Blair left office, and was appointed as a director of PR firm Bell Pottinger. He also worked as the Labour party's director of communications from 1991 to 1999.


George Bridges

George Bridges was David Cameron's campaigns director until July 2007. He has recently written articles in the Telegraph calling for a smaller public sector and for David Cameron to stand up to the striking National Union of Teachers.
