Cut out for the job?

At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, David Cameron asked whether Mr. Brown was "cut out for the job" after a series of recent disasters.

The controversy over dodgy donations comes on the back of the collapse of Northern Rock and the loss of 25 million people's personal details, and David said this latest issue raised serious questions about Mr. Brown's integrity and competence.

He described the explanation offered by Mr. Brown as one that "beggars belief", and said he simply could not believe that the Prime Minister did not know about the donations.

He also questioned why Jon Mendelsohn, Labour's chief fundraiser, had not yet been fired, despite knowing about the illegal donations for over a month.
