Here we go again, folks! It’s Plot Against Gordon time again. And so soon after the last one too! According to Martin Kettle, Labour’s conspirators are contemplating an October move against the Prime Minister. Well, we’ll see. Maybe this one will be different and actually come to something.
Basically, however, the parliamentary Labour party’s relationship with the Prime Minister is like a Smiths compilation album:
Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
Me too. What are we going to do? Did you see Gordon’s performance yesterday?
That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore
No I guess it isn’t.
Half A Person
Sad but true; harsh but fair. Gordon will always only be Gordon.
Panic
I know it’s not dignified but it’s the only sensible thing to do in these circumstances. Did you see the latest poll? Somebody has to do something sometime. Soon!
How Soon is Now?
Not just yet, mind you.
