Gordon Brown has urged world leaders to create a temporary form of
global government to tackle the twin medical and economic crises caused
by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The former Labour prime minister, who was at the centre of the
international efforts to tackle the impact of the near-meltdown of the banks in 2008,
said there was a need for a taskforce involving world leaders, health
experts and the heads of the international organisations that would have
executive powers to coordinate the response.
A virtual meeting of the G20
group of developed and developing countries, chaired by Saudi Arabia,
will be held on Thursday, but Brown said it would have been preferable
to have also included the UN security council.
