With Mandelson back, it's not surprising that cabinet ministers are pushing a particular line. Everyone knows this is a very serious situation, but every time someone uses the word the voters are reminded that Brown and his cabinet are serious politicians, whilst Cameron & Co. are a joke of a side show.
The ambitious bail-out announced this morning sends a message that the government is in control. It is superior to the American solution and could, eventually, lead to a profit for the taxpayer. More than once this crisis has been referred to as Brown's Falklands; that assessment is looking more reasonable all the time.
