We all know that there are plenty of knives out for Gordon Brown in the Labour Party. But a detail in this post by Benedict Brogan is still pretty astonishing. He writes of a Labour minister who said he’d like the party to be defeated in Crewe and Nantwich by a Tory landslide, so they can “force the bastard out”. Unfortunately, Brogan’s “Tory informant” didn’t reveal who that minister was. Any guesses?

Do Labour ministers want to lose the by-election?
