New Labour are about to rip themselves in shreds. No one in the party wants Gordon in chargebut MANDY has decided he is the only option.

Today we have seen the start of the slow death of New Labour.

Brown could call a snap election - which would stop all discussion if he had the guts. But we all know he is a bottler.

If his own party dont want him - why should anyone in the country vote for him.

Bye Bye unelected Gordon Brown.

A piece of premature speculation I'm afraid, BR. I agree he's a useless bastard who deserves to go, but that's not the same thing. This is likely to prove a disappointing sideshow for those like you and I who despair at his continuing premiership.

Yes, it's hard to workout which is the worst aspect of this coup !

Are the loony Lie-Bour MPs supporting the Brown-Noser because they feel there is hope, or should we hope that they get rid of this (unelected) PM and risk that his replacement MAY get a pre-election boost?

Certainly Hoon is no "saviour" (is his appearance at the Iraq inquiry not imminent?)

The appearance at the inquiry of the Great B-Liar will kill-off the miniscule hopes of the remaining MPs too.

Roll On the Leccy (and let's hope that Hamid Karzai - President Toilet - it not in charge of vote counting)!

well that didn't come to much did it

So, we now know that (at least) six of the Cabinet are spineless (waiting to see if anyone else jumped ship before making-up their minds) !

What a pathetic shower.
