Martha Kearney's week
| By Martha Kearney Presenter, BBC Radio 4's The World at One |
 Mr Brown is most commonly likened to a bear |
There was the teddy bear called Muhammad, a man in a bear suit winning the Turner Prize, the prospect of bear markets in the City and I found myself watching duelling polar bears in the new Philip Pullman film last night.
The bear is also the most common animal simile applied to Gordon Brown by sketch writers who often describe him in the Commons as a wounded beast lashing out at his opponents.
There's certainly plenty to goad him at the moment. The donations scandal continues to provide ammunition for the Conservatives and cause disquiet on Labour backbenches.
