We won't have a GE until we absolutely have to (by next June) because of his stupiodly stubborn attitude.

He will lose, of course whenever the GE is and he knows it, a big reason why he's clinging on.

I can't concede your argument, not after 10 years of Labour "rule". Maggie Thatcher resigned years ago and is nowe an irrelevance in politics. Anyone blaming her for our woes NOW is just barking up the wrong tree. Brown as Chancellor sold most of our gold reserves ate $275 an ounce and gold is now worth over $900 an ounce.

Yes it is the economy and Brown has been the stupid one. We're up to our eyes in debt and taxes, all engendered by Brown to fund his crass public spending. Outreach Worker, anyone?

resigned,

she did what Brown is trying to do now,
hung on by her finger nails, until her own party booted her out.

It would be interesting to see how Andrew Marr would respond to that. Not so long ago, he said that 'like it or not, we are all Maggie's children now.'

I think that is a disgrace that his colleagues have been stabbing in him the back like this. They could have waited for the resuffle and made their way out without this drama. Just plain nasty.

As I said yesterday the people of Salford don't want Backstabbing Blears back, she can ride of into the sunset on the bike that we no doubt paid for.

Yes he jumped ship at the right time... An American economist predicted the global meltdown as early as 2006 but he was laughed off....

You see this is the whole point.
People keep bringing up the red herring of Europe.
Europe doesn't matter.
If people were bothered then I wouldn't have had to wake up the polling officers yesterday so I could vote.
