Brave New World

The End of Brown 03/06/2009

Today’s Guardian editorial puts the boot in. Surely, it is now a question of when not if he resigns. With the botched revelation that Jacqui Smith is to go as well as a number of other junior ministers, White House concern over any change in Foreign Secretary so close to a general election, and open pleas by other minister to stay at their posts and a series of descriptions of backbench Labour MPs’ morale as being at ‘rock bottom’ tomorrow’s European election results could very well start the leadership ball rolling. Another year of a Brown premiership is surely inconceivable.
