THE POLITICAL ASSASSINS OF GORDON BROWN

The mere attempt to question Gordon Brown's leadership qualities just weeks before a General Election, reflects the general unease in the Labour Party, which, to be honest, has already been evident for some time. What on earth has now, suddenly, pushed some M.P.s right over the brink ?

I would like to hazard some guesses !!!
- Were some MPs expecting to be in the New Year Honours list ?
- Were some MPs surprised to get a letter from Sir Thomas Legg just when they thought he might be stiffled ?
- Are MPs worried that the Labour Party election kitty is low ?


To want to provoke a "secret" ballot is nonsensical. The idea may be to encourage MPs to vote but everyone knows the details of such a vote will not be secret for very long !!!

Finally, as some by-elections are pending, the General Election may take place earlier than expected, which will shorten the agony of waiting for a certain number of worried MPs.
