Brown's smile 'the worst in the world'
Gordon Brown faced renewed mockery of his YouTube performance today as John Prescott described the British Prime Minister’s smile as the worst in the world.
The former deputy prime minister was trying to extend his support to Mr Brown, who is under pressure on a variety of fronts.
But he drew fresh attention to the Prime Minister’s nervous grinning in the YouTube clip, for which he has been widely derided since it was posted by Number 10 last month.
“I have worked with Gordon Brown for an awfully long time,” Mr Prescott said on the election campaign trail in York.
“He must have the worst bloody smile in the world, but the man has got the ability and the intellect to get on with the job.”
To the amusement of onlookers, Mr Prescott also pulled a face apparently in imitation of the Prime Minister.
Mr Brown’s spokesman said this afternoon: “He thinks that John Prescott is big enough and grown up enough to speak for himself.”
