Can Gordon improve on last week?

The highlight of today in politics is likely to be the second Prime Minister’s Questions with Brown at the despatch box, with the key question being whether or not Gordon can improve on a shaky start at his first outing.

Also today the PM is expected to outline his draft parliamentary agenda to the House, although this is not expected to include a commitment to AV, despite the lively debate on pb.com.

Elsewhere, there’s an interesting article by Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian, on lessons that the UK’s leaders might draw from past American elections, which might provide some food for thought in Downing Street.
