Gordon Brown plays in the future
The UK's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is to spend his holiday playing video games with his children.

As Prime Minister Gordon Brown enjoys his Parliament recess this summer, the Daily Mirror reveals in an interview that he will attempt to win back the interest of his children by challenging them in video games.

"He plans to do more 're-winning' of [his childrens'] interest as he watches the boys' favourite TV shows and plays computer games over the next few weeks at the couple's home in Scotland and on their holiday," the Daily Mirror writes.

This is the first time a Prime Minister has admitted to playing video games, with US President Barack Obama warning of the health risks involved in allowing children to play them too often.
