The timing of this was rather striking, story released just before the start of PMQs

Death by a thousand cuts? Night of the long knives? Who knows, but it doesn't look too stable , does it?

Mmmm Buff and Hewitt, hardly the most credible campaigners.

You'd not want to walk a mile in Brown's shoes right now.

But at least then you'd be a mile away and have his shoes 🙂

Hewitt should get off our glorious leader's back and concentrate on not looking like Stephen Hawkins with a wig on.

Surely calling for a secret ballot suggests the complete opposite ? …. ie, a very quick sudden death.

Ernie, was more a reference (rather badly put, I admit) to the continued drip, drip, drip of these stories that keep happening.

Who says politics is boring, eh? This could be fun!

Rumours beginning of a snap Feb election as well.
