As commentators, policy wonks, party activists and other political nerds either rejoice or grief over this week's coverage of the first year of Gordon Brown's leadership, there is hope for all revealed in what the Prime Minister is reading whilst tucked up in bed at No. 10.

No Harry Potter, self help books or Dan Brown for our PM. According to today's Guardian, the PM is reading none other than 'We Think' by Demos Associate Charlie Leadbeater - a book which explores how the web is creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.

The book may not be able to answer all of Gordon's current woes, but here's hoping it inspires the PM to explore new innovative ways of utilizing technology to engage with people. No teenage wizard can compete with that.
