Patrick Wintour doesn't really care who he spins for, as long as they feed him stories. In the Guardian today he reports that:
Gordon Brown will call for an acceleration of nuclear power today in a speech to business leaders designed to show he is focused on the long term and will not buckle in the face of negative headlines.
Except that:
He was forced by the courts to hold a second, as yet incomplete, consultation on building nuclear stations so he will not make an announcement today in case he is accused again of pre-empting the outcome. But it is clear that he sees a new generation of stations as vital to Britain's energy security and emission targets.
So Brown won't actually call for an acceleration in nuclear power. But with Wintour to spin for him, he doesn't need to.
