...party has been trounced in recent by-elections, and voters blame him for the country's sputtering economy. So as Gordon Brown and his family spend their summer vacation at a beachside town on England's east coast this week, you might understand why Britain's Prime Minister hasn't ventured further. Amid whispers that colleagues are plotting to replace him, staying within earshot of Westminster (and taking along his Downing Street staff) is a good idea.
