Tabled by the SNP and Plaid Cymru, tonight it appears to have the backing of both the Lib Dems and the Tories. It is doomed to fail, but it's not about winning; it's about the statement and the airtime Wink

Oh. And here I thought the government had fallen.

It certainly feels like it has fallen! There's certainly a lack of confidence in the government. I don't expect Labour to turn on Brown; they would if it gave them a chance of holding on to power, but it's a futile move. For a government to fall in a 'vacuum' like this would fill me with some worry though, to be partisan and honest here I'll be more relaxed if the locals and Euros show the Tories on the path to government.

Then they can rip out the governments throat for all I care.

Hazel Blears has resigned. They are walking rather than give Gordon the satisfaction of pusing them.
