DON'T write him off yet. After having taken an entire two weeks' rest following a gruelling three years in No 10 and a sometimes tortuous general election campaign, Gordon Brown has revealed what he plans to do next – fight an election campaign.

We can reveal that the former Prime Minister has asked to be given a role in the party's forthcoming Holyrood contest. In an interview with Scotland on Sunday, Scottish Labour party leader Iain Gray says that Brown's offer, in an unsolicited letter, has been taken up by the party as it begins its attempt to unseat Alex Salmond at the Scottish Parliamentary elections in less than a year's time.
