I know that Gordon Brown is often not quite the flavour of the month for his penal taxation of everything on the road, but I am sure that Backroomers would join me in extending our best wishes for a happy outcome to his current family problems.

Here here Brian - It must be a terrible time for them and my fingers are crossed for them.

Quite right. I can't stand this government and I take every opportunity to point out their failures. However, after seeing GB's joy at his new child, it is very upsetting to hear that things are going wrong. He and his wife must be going through hell. Let's hope it turns out OK.

Could someone let me know what has happened ?

This is very sad and I hope that she makes a full recovery.
Having said that - and I am not being callous here. I bet that she is getting all the stops pulled out, and receiving better treatment than someone else would. I would also wager that the doctors wish they could treat them the same as any other family (ie attention divided between 50 other patients), which would let Mr B know just how underfunded the health service is and may induce him to put his fist into the "war chest" and start paying out.

Well yes. The Browns have my sympathy too.

I pity the guy more than I can express.
...and I don't see any need for the media to cover *any* of this.
We didn't need to know he'd had a child and we didn't need to know there are such grave concerns for it's welfare.

i really feel sorry for the brown family, lets just hope the little lass gets better.

I sort of agree Mr BBAOTO. But
a) The hypocracy of self serving politicians shouldn't be punished by the death of anyone let alone a child.
b) I'd think that someone as wealthy a Mr Brown would ease the load on the NHS and go private.
c) I'd also think that the NHS pull out the stops for *all* sick children.

Please don't let this thread degenerate into another rant at the Government.

Otto's right. We've expressed our feelings. We desperately want the baby to survive without being damaged in any way. Let's leave it at that.

CHANCELLOR Gordon Brown's baby daughter Jennifer Jane died in hospital today, NHS Lothian announced.
This is very sad news indeed.

Thoughts and prayers go to Gordon and Sarah.
