Off topic on the Nu Labour issue, it will be riveting to watch the top leaders of Nu Labour wrestle to be Brown's successor while all the time claim that they really aren't interested in the position - Harriet Harman take note!
Still, would like to know what the odds are on the leadership contest that's bound to happen sooner rather then later although if Brown doesn't step down, he might as well hand Cameron the election on a plate as if he did step down then it might improve Nu Labour's chances.
The thing is Ajax, no-one wants the job.
No-one wants to be sitting in the chair when they are slaughtered at the next General Election. The Stalinist purges of the Thirties will be as nothing compared to the blood-letting that will happen when "Old" Labour metaphorically start to take people outside and line them up against the wall.
"Boy" Milliband is desperate but wants to lead AFTER someone else is executed for losing the GA.
Harman believes she is the rightful successor to Brown but is hated as much by the rest of the Cabinet as Brown is.
Brown is such an egotist and fantasist the he STILL believes that he can spin and lie his way to a fourth Labour term. The thing is that no-one else does but as I said no-one wants the job. Even "Mandy" started to make overtures to the Conservatives, then realised the risks and started to make a series of personal attacks, (which the rest of the vegetables then followed on with) in an effort to stem the potential damage.
The more shrewd have been making discreet enquiries about non-exec directorships behind the scenes, and the shrewder still baled out earlier in the year whilst there was still a chance for an ex Labour Cabinet Minister / Junior Minister to be still able to get hold of one.
I doubt any Company will feel the need to have any ex labour politician on the Board.
So there we are, a Cabinet full of potential "leaders" (in their own tea breaks) some of whom dare not make any attempt at a Coup, whilst the remainder are desperate for Brown to go in order to save their own necks but whilst happy to wound are unwilling to strike. In the background is a hard core of the PLP still believe that Labour can make a come-back if only they can get rid of Brown.
"Mandys" sneering attack on the Sun alienated some 5m Sun readers who will always vote for whom the Sun tells them to, a well as making an enemy out of the Murdoch press machine, so you can look out for a whole series of lurid exposees of Labour MP wrong-doings as the attack-dogs are released from the gutter in due course.
Personally I think that Brown will be told to go in no uncertain terms, and the whisper is that his understudy who was responsible for forcing throught the LUL PPP arrangements has resigned so that she won't be covered by the rules that prohibit a former Minister taking a related job within six-months of leaving office. The hard hearted also reckon she will be "puffing up the cushions" in a private sector role for a Brown tenure in due course.
Look out for a "Health reasons" resignation excuse, as the Left have been planting these little stories and rumours, which have now taken on a mental health aspect, for a while now in order to destabilise Brown. That is the thing with Labour, they turn viciously against their own when the person no longer suits the cause.
There are still those in the PLP who think that a change of leader will solve everything, so expect an early bath for Brown if they get their way. They figure Brown has to go NOW. Were they to do so then THAT would really set the cat amongst the pigeons, especially if someone like Dobson came forward.
There is a chance however that Brown may be on his way to Buck House in the next two weeks, just to spite them all. The reason is the publication of an Election Manual, and some strange early canvassing that has started to happen in at least one Constituency I am told.
Oh how they must be twisting in absolute agony right now !
, vote for me and single car units will be replaced by new build HST sets and BREL will re-open and british workers can get their jobs back, the money from this comes from education, as no matter how much money you throw at it chavs will never go to school and will never be accepted into society! 
a vote for me is a vote for proper traction 
I did point out the capacity issue, but he waffled over that...ah well, politicians...don't trust em whatever party they are from
