The Mole: Gordon Brown ‘on drugs to control depression’ | News | The First Post.

Poor old Gordon. The problem with being such a poor and weak leader is that you open yourself up to this sort of bollocks:

The civil servant who told Ward of the banned list apparently wrote it off as quackery and “nonsense”, unaware of its potential significance.

Ward readily admits that, without a doctor’s note to absolutely prove the PM’s state of health, his hypothesis is an easy one for Downing Street to refute – or frame as yet another anti-Brown smear campaign. But Ward makes the point that, if he’s right, it won’t be long before he gets his proof. “If it’s true,” says Ward, “Brown’s entourage must be sending out strict dietary requirements ahead of his regularly catered public engagements; one could even monitor what he eats on such occasions.”

There have been rumours about Brown’s health and mental state for several years, of course.

So although we don’t have medical evidence “absolutely” to prove the PM’s state of health, “there have been rumours” that he’s unstable “for several years”. Must be true then…..
