Labour MPs are revolting

No, really, they are.

When the British Political history books of the future are written, I wonder whether they will record this weekend as the real start of the removal of Gordon Brown from power. I wonder whether the chapters that will be entitled "Gordon Brown: The Aberration" or "The Failure of Gordon Brown" (or, if I write a political history, "Gordon Brown The Total Fucking Cock") will talk in hushed tones in their final paragraphs about the half-baked machinations and unconvincing plotting of this weekend. Since this plot isn't reaching the Cabinet level it needs to reach, with the Boy Blunder pledging support for Bottler Brown, I doubt this is truly the end game; that doesn't stop me from really, really hoping it is.

It is often said that you can know the calibre of a man by his enemies. If that is the case, the roll call of complete non-entities who have publically called for the head of Gordon Brown are a further indicator of just how shite Gordon Brown is. Thatcher was finally brought down by Geoffrey Howe and Michael Heseltine. Blair was brought down by the machinations of his (then) respected (by some) Chancellor. Hell, John Major even forced his own enemies into the battleground, and managed to beat them. Gordon Brown is in danger of his political career ended by the dregs of the Blairite movement. The only real Labour heavyweight (pun intended) who has publically tried to sink Brown is Charlie the Safety Elephant, Nu Labour's answer to Karl Stromberg. If you are in danger of being offed by the most bitter politician since Edward Heath shuffled onto the Tory bachbenches, you really are a total failure.

Which is another reason why I hope, I really hope that this is the beginning of the end for Gordon. What greater epitaph could their be for worst Prime Minister in living memory that being brought down by the least important members of your former nemesis's cadre? Brown forced Blair out of office, I hope his followers manage to do the same for Brown.
