Well according to you at least we only go on about the 1966 World Cup - you guys have to hark back to the days of Braveheart

Apparently it's nothing whatsoever to do with Brown though.....

'To spend more time with the family'

This lot sounds more and more like the 1990'd Conservatives every day.

I wonder if many more will decide its time to distance themselves?

Also maybe she does have a problem with brownshirt and wouldn't say anything as a cabinet minister but as an ordinary mp you never know.

Strange that with a personal problem which has been going on all the time she has been in the Cabinet, she chooses the day of Gordon Brown's speech to resign.

If that is not a sign that the writing is on the wall I don't know what is.

Unfortunately,our problem is that there are too many self-interested MPs in Parliament of whom MIss Kelly is one.
