It's also been suggested that if Alistair Darling is moved from the Treasury in a reshuffle, he'll walk too.

Luckily I found a feed to BBC News, truly fascinating, I would predict Darling will leave by tomorrow afternoon before he can be kicked out, bringing about the end of it all for Brown.

Brown is in it for Brown - he can get his revenge. Visit the Queen tommorrow morning and call a General Election. If he does down, he'll do it himself and he'll take everyone down with him.

Gordon Brown, in my view he was a rather good chancellor, just a pity he's a god-awful Prime Minister though.


Purnell resigns

Holy...

Purnell, Darling, and Milliband?

Anyway, obviously Labour will be trounced if a snap election is called, but doesn't the Tory Party still have some stigma from the scandal from earlier this year?  I suppose what I'm asking is, Gordon Brown will probably lose, but how well will David Cameron win?

Exactly one hour eight minutes for the hangers on to accuse Purnell of being a big part of the expense scandal.

I was literally the only person there when I went to vote today. Granted it was 1 in the afternoon, but there weren't even any old people or the usual canvassers hanging about outside. Really weird voting in a silent room.

Milliband 'not resigning'

I wonder what post Gordon offered him? It's like f-cking ferrets in a sack.

Do the ministers supporting Brown on TV right now really think they sound genuine?

Yes with Woodward saying; "Purnell has let down the people. The people need a Labour government" it's bordering on the sycophantic.

In Germany that tends to be one of the busier times.

Of course, we vote on sundays.
