Just like those f wits Labour have been doing for years. Get them out and now before we are completely ruined. Labour are as much use as a light house in the desert

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
An interesting take on recent events from Guido Fawkes:

Does anyone seriously believe Mandelson isn't fully aware of all of this by now? I suppose he could be incommunicado stuck in a snowdrift on a Russian billionaire's country estate......

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
Almost three hours since the letter was announced and still no Cabinet ministers on to back Brown, just a couple of back benchers...
Is it too much to hope this might gain some momentum and trigger an election?

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
Yes indeed. It's looking more serious for Brown with every minute of silence that passes!
This may explain Mandelson's temporary absence from the limelight:

No one else 'real' is on the other side either though. Just at an impasse until someone breaks their silence.

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
This could be a cunning labour plan:
Manipulate the conditions so that a snap General election can be called while the country is snow bound.
Those of us who make it to a polling station will have frozen brains and may put our X in the wrong place.
Good try Gordon but we've seen through you - again.

Actually that's what we do need. The next Government is going to have to make some pretty unpleasant decisions and they will need that majority to push through some of the plans. Normally I'd be all for a hung parliament (Pleasee... pretty please with a cherry on top  ) but if we're going to get out of the hole that Brown has put us in, we are going to have to give one party the mandate to sort out the mess. A hung parliament is likely to lose direction or at least some of the more 'extreme' measures will have to be watered down and therefore will be less effective.

Don't bet on it, we could fail to emerge from recession this quarter as well, the countries credit rating could drop (increasing the cost of Government borrowing... it could be a lot worse.)

Actually the rumor's around the last challenge to him were that they were planning to replace him and call a snap election to bow out gracefully. Whether that is what would have happen mind you...
Latest from the BBC is that "Cabinet ministers have been lining up behind Gordon Brown" surely this will make the knife thrusts easier...

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
How pathetic they really are...with or without GB they are going to lose and they are just rats fleeing the wreck.
How worthless they really are...

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
They are crap. This is the 3rd attempt to get rid of him that has fallen flat on it's face after a few hours. Can't even backstab someone without messing it up.

Re: The knives are out for Brown...
Well if and it is a big if they do get rid of brown then i cannot see how they cannot call an immediate election because having one unelected leader is bad enough but having another for the sake of a few months hoping to turn something round is completely unacceptable.
