Should Brown go now?

[Mich the Tester]

Actually I don't care seeing as I don't live in UK any more, but I think Caroline Flint should get her tits out.

If he cannot raise a cabinet then he will have to go.

Ed Balls is mooted for Chancellor but he was also directly related in the pensions fiasco since 1997 as he was advisor to Brown at the time. Balls is also mired in allowance and expenses sleaze.

It looks like Brown will have no 'whiter than whites' to turn to !!

Dennis Skinner seems not to have been taking the piss with expenses.

If the Torygraph has any sense (LOL!) they'll wait until after the reshuffle before spilling the really damning stuff on Ed Balls, Gordo himself, etc.

The evil snot goblin must be gagging to use the Civil Contingencies Act right now. There is a voice in his head saying, "Go on! You know you want too."

I agree Brown is a piece of work and I probably hate the Civil Contingencies Act even more than you, and I know it shouldn't, but you spouting that utter tripe about him using it is really starting to grind my gears so here's a serious offer. Five grand says it won't be invoked by Brown or anyone in the next 3 years.

On a lighter note, I might be able to support a goverment in which Dennis Skinner was in the cabinet and Caroline Flint let us have a look.
Edit: but only if they can ID cards

Do you think he'll be pushed by Monday or Tuesday?

Two different questions.

1. I don't think he should go now. He'd deprive so many people of months of shadenfreude, as he squirms deeper and deeper in s**t of his own making. Also, it would save dozens of Labour seats.

2. I suspect he'll go over the next week. Apart from everything else, he looked strangely relaxed and smiley at times during PMQs, as if he's said to himself "Oh f*** it. What's the use."

[PRC1964]

If he does go it just takes one quickly arranged by-election and we could have Tony Blair back in charge. eek

Seconded. The parliament needs to see a bit of reality, and those look real.

There are a few positively rabid anti-Labour people on here, who jump at any opportunity, however implausible, to accuse Labour leaders of all kinds of treason. It has gone past being amusing, even for those of us who do dislike those politicians.
