A tactical success for the Brownites

What does everyone think is coming???

Will Mili get in quickly enough to resign before the chap from Dithering Heights sacks him?

Gordon must go

McBride losing it. That's what everyone knows is coming.

Thats TWO MPs. Hardly matches the headline.

I presume what everyone thinks is coming is a night of the long knives ???

Dumping Milliband on his fatuous backside would in fact be doing the country a great service. Quite out of character for Brown.

Max Kaye

That would call for Brown to act decisively.

Doh!

John Backhouse

Brown knows that Blair's backside-sitting for 10 years and not sacking Brown never did, erm, Brown any harm. Can you imagine how much better a place the world would be now had Blair fired this treacherous, malcontended incompetent in about 1998?

Austin Barry

Gordon is hiding and dithering again. He has an opportunity to be decisive but, inevitably, he will bottle it. He seems to be totally unaware that many perceive his gloomy introspective inertia as cowardice and perhaps it is.

Della, over on Guido rumours are circulating, check out the comments section.....

I disagree with your headline. Miliband has been pretty canny, he has stolen a march on other potential challengers by getting out there first. Witness people ringing into five live saying things like 'we need someone like you' etc etc, video all over the media showing gatherings of people outside the studios wanting his autograph. Pretty good PR I'd say.

Oscar

Agree with Carol-Ann - Miliband is being cannier than the Brownites. The sack Miliband stuff is way over the top and heavyhanded and only makes Brown look rattled. Blair may not have sacked Brown - but equally he never behaved as if he was unsettled by him. As for the BBC spinning for the Brownites - so what's new?

What comes around goes around! A wonder if Brown ever considered such things would happen to him? He was destabalising a 3 times elected PM for a decade. As another contributer stated, Blair should have sacked him for disloyalty.

The Brown Broadcasting Corporation have been unceasing in their promotion of Gordon since 27th June 2007, so what on earth is new about this.
