What's next?
James Forsyth 10:47am
John Rentoul, who has always been sceptical of Brown’s chances and abilities, thinks that Frank Field’s attack on Brown might have been a tipping point: “But his personal unkindness may have broken some kind of barrier, and now all the scenarios for how Brown might go are being canvassed and seem plausible. What, now, if ministers were to resign, saying that the party cannot win with Brown as leader?”
In the febrile atmosphere at Westminster at the moment, anything seems possible. Rumours that would have been dismissed out of hand just a few weeks ago, now seem plausible. If Labour does lose the Crewe and Nantwitch by-election, the temperature will rise another few degrees.

May 13th, 2008 11:18amWhether we like it or not, we are saddled with Labour for the next two years, regardless of whom is at the helm, it makes no difference, unless of course the remaining Labour Ministers regain what dignity they have left and reform themselves for the better and good for the people of Great Britain.
Yes we know all the negative, the treachery and the seismic mistakes that have been made, but if Westminster dissolves into Pirates of the Caribbean, then Britain’s resistance to all that comes thereafter would mean we are not prepared and have learnt nothing and consequently we shall all suffer.
We must break free from our divisions between each party and rebuild public confidence once more, after all it is the job Parliament is paid to do, enough of Punch and Judy, its now time for St George and King Arthur, I'll let you decide who is who, we shall know them by their nobleness, truth and courage,
Come on England...
We can do better than this?
