+++ The Letter +++
You read it here first:
Dear Colleague,
As we move towards a General Election it remains the case that the Parliamentary Labour Party is deeply divided over the question of the leadership. Many colleagues have expressed their frustration at the way in which this question is affecting our political performance. We have therefore come to the conclusion that the only way to resolve this issue would be to allow every member to express their view in a secret ballot.
This could be done quickly and with minimum disruption to the work of MPs and the Government. Whatever the outcome the whole of the party could then go forward, knowing that this matter had been sorted out once and for all.
Strong supporters of the Prime Minister should have no difficulty in backing this approach. There is a risk otherwise that the persistent background briefing and grumbling could continue up to and possibly through the election campaign, affecting our ability to concentrate all of our energies on getting our real message across.
Equally those who want change, should they lose such a vote, would be expected by the majority of the PLP to devote all of their efforts to winning the election. The implications of such a vote would be clear – everyone would be bound to support the result.This is a clear opportunity to finally lay this matter to rest. The continued speculation and uncertainty is allowing our opponents to portray us as dispirited and disunited. It is damaging our ability to set out our strong case to the electorate. It is giving our political opponents an easy target.
In what will inevitably be a difficult and demanding election campaign, we must have a determined and united parliamentary party. It is our job to lead the fight against our political opponents. We can only do that if we resolve these distractions. We hope that you will support this proposal.
Yours fraternally,
Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt
All of them Hoons.
They are finished.
Hoon whipped
I never thought I’d ever write this, but good luck to Hoon and Patsy!
I ALMOST (but not quite) forgive Hoon his crimes if he can tip the evil Brown from Downing St and a General Election happens in February.
The country needs an election – we cannot possibly carry on like this for the next 5 months.
Whatever one’s political views , an election needs to happen now and I hope this will prompt it – it surely cannot be allowed to rest in the criminal Brown’s own hands.
Bye Bye you Bong-Eyed son of a Hunt !
Actually I could have written them a better punchier version of a suitable letter. It goes…
Dear Gordon
Fuck off & die you bong eyed useless Hunt. I have been praying that you would have a stroke for sometime now.
Your A Twat
Tabbatha (age 6)
Mark my words……………….
This was an attempt to rid us of the Freemason stranglehold at No 10….
For that, they get my full support, I’m saddling my charger now.. Tally ho!!!!!!
Mark my words………………..
Watching PMQ’s at lunchtime,I told my wife that there seemed to be a very muted Labour Front bench – Darling did not nod his head at the right time for Brown’s screaming and wailing,Harman looked at Brown as if thinking “now what rubbish do I have to hear from this turd this time?” and Nick Brown,well he STILL looks like a Swedish insurance salesman waiting at a bus stop in suburban Stockholm,on his way to work.
I predict the major cabinet hitter to go against brown will be;
Harman
or
Straw
or
Darling
OT. Get your tickets to throw dog shit, shoes etc at Tony Blair HERE

Looks like you were talking as much crap as your man ‘Dave’ then…….
Perhaps this is another of Mandelson’s masterstrokes – PRETEND these two want a leadership election and then the cowardly backbenchers and ministers run to Brown’s defence – job done,Brown still PM and off they carry on.
“Many colleagues have expressed their frustration at the way in which this question is affecting our political performance.”
There is more than just leadership that is affecting the performance of New Labour.
It’s the tip of a humungous iceberg.
Hypocrisy by our Glorious Leaders.
Complete and utter shambolic economic policies.
Gerrymandering via the swollen public sector.
Immigration.
An epic mess of social and welfare reforms.
Need I go on?
New Labour, New Danger.
You’ve got to love the smell of a mass ‘friendly fire’ incident in the morning ! Geoff hoon, putting the hypocracy in nulab.
According to one Labour MP just interviewed on Sky we are worried about issues like global warming?????
I am ,i cannot wait for it to start i’m f*king freezing!.
I’ll start worrying about it when the tosspots at the top start leading by example.
I’m not giving up my car and my stable of motorbikes until “they” start to give up the Daimlers and the poncing about, flying first class, and transporting an entourage of thousands to poxy climate conferences.
Fuck ‘em. They want the respect of the electorate? About time they earned it. Payment is acceptable in blood, sweat and tears.
Solopolis for PM
Brown = dead duck.
We have the longest recession on record, the fastest rise in unemployment on record and a national debt that will double to £1.4 trillion and they squabble over leadership!
Rather than solving the problems they created, Labour just row among themselves. If their Leader is so crap (and he is) why did no one stand against him to be leader back in 2007.
Or when they had the chance last Autumn.
Perfect
Because they have troughed and the good times are almost at an end….so no danger with a change of leader of being forced early from the taxpayer’s teat by the inconvenience of an early election
And no feckin’ GRIT !
they just gave up now where I am. No grit left, roads are now closed with exception of main trunk roads which are empty coz no fucker can get to them. Schools closed today already notified closed tomorrow, Business shut. Were Fucked!
Wish someone had warned us this was coming…Oh!
Labour isn’t working. Would have thought they had learned there lesson from last year and stockpiled some. Trouble is ther is no money
‘Trouble is there is no money’ – Also they believe their own crap about global warming: so how can there be another bitter Winter – it is just a temporary Tory lie!
No, no. there is no problem. Just a light smattering of snow dust to make the country look fairyland like and cheer everyone up.
All the trains are running, all the schools are open, all the people are happy. Road gritting has increased 45% under this government. Don’t you remember those news reports just before Xmas. All councils have enough supplies and there will be no problems this year. Anyway, there will be no snow as the planet has warmed up.
All you have to do is close the curtains, unplug the telly and everything is fine.
Lalalalala
They can’t change the national debt and they know it.
I did the maths in November and posted my analysis here.
http://solopolis.livejournal.com/4805.html
The only thing they can influence is which of their own kind can be their leader.
Pathetic tossers. For all their perceptions of power over us little people, the only thing they can influence is themselves.
Why have a vote just for Labour MPs? Why not give the vote to the British people as a whole? They will tell you what they think of Gordon Brown’s lack of leadership.
If he was thrown out by his party after never having been voted in by an election he would go down in history as a “mistake” PM.
That would be the pinnacle of failure.
Being voted out by the people can be excused, but being voted out by your party, after never getting a peoples mandate, is humiliation.
Very, very good point and I really do hope so. It would sort of make up for it all.
Please let him be voted out of No 10 by his own people oh pleeeeze with drizzled fairy sugar and a huge great juicy cherry on top
Harman has THREE nipples?
Dave is now shitting himself. So near yet so far if Gordon goes
Why? Because he might have to put a tiny bit of effort into winning the election?
I can’t see who would lead newlabour into victory at the GE.
Bliar.
nah. Cheryl Cole or Maggie Thatcher.
Nah
Perfect timing really. All Labours chickens coming home to roost, so much ammo to use and so little time before a GE must be held to fire it.
Fuck me Dave must think Xmas came late this year
Brown has just called a February election – you read it here first
Brown is confident he’ll pull it off helped by the core vote sustained by means-tested benefits and public sector jobs with cushy pensions as well as very high percentages of postal votes!
I’m going to call bullshit on that one. Unless you have a source to back it up.
you must be John Belushi mark II
only if they have enough grit so the fraudulent postal votes can get through of course
Ergo – Tory victory.
They’ll be better dealt with in power.
No hung parliament now.
Bollocks. Prove it.
New Labour can’t afford the advertising space in February. Its all been taken up by Thorntons and deBeers for Valentine’s Day.
Would be a great Valentine gift for your loved one;
“My darling,I have not got you any flowers,have not written a card or booked a restaurant,but I can confirm Gordon Brown is finished”
“Oh light of my life,fire of my loins,that is such a wonderful present – I will do that thing I have always said I would never do with you because of this wonderful news!”
“Ahh,well let me bend over now,my darling”.
nice idea but can anyone see Brown wanting to go out this way?
He’s going to stand his ground and fight (for himself not the country) – it’s the only way an obsessive, violent, hungry for power and full of himself shit man can behave – his fingernails will scroll on the front door of No10 as he’s dragged out….
they aren’t going to count the votes overnight so they will be sat somewhere all night in boxes its just as well this government isn’t sleazy or corrupt and the BBC has been monitoring peoples worries about postal vote fraud
Ladbrokes have a Feb election at 50:1 – being unemployed (not claiming) – this could be a really good bet to generate a couple of hundred K.
Todays word is ‘hollow’
I HOPE THEY GET RID OF BROWN. The thought of EITHER CAMERON OR BROWN running the country for the next 5 years depresses ME
Right Boys, Phone up the News of the Srews and the Mail and release the dirt on those hoons Hoon and Hewitt.
There is a big swinging dick in the cabinet that will resign by 6pm tonight – all part of the momentum.
There is not enough dicks in the cabinet Swinging for my liking
The only ones that matter are Darling and the postman but mainly Darling. If he had any decency in him Darling should withdraw the knife and stick it in deep will he wont he? Ooooooooooo…..!
Millitwat for some reason won’t make a difference I am certain but hey ho who knows on Planet Labour.
keep your irritating Tory mouths shut please unless you have anything constructive to say. It is your party who will be finished when you lose or hang yourselves on the unlosable come May
Rats wishing to abandon sinking ship queue here.
Actually no. It’s a fight over who is Captain when the Titanic sinks
Malcolm Tucker has been called back, Gordon will be forced to call a GE in March
Why not February?
By Election caused by death of MP needs to be run anyway
It’s about Iraq.They’re in blind panic.
Is it just good timing?
The GE campaign has started, its possible with slow wheels turning that Labour could get a new leader, call an election, and hold it just a couple of weeks before when it was supposed to. For example, they could spend a month making it clear that Brown isn’t the leader any more.
I don’t suppose that makes a difference to who wins the GE, but labour without brown is likely to get more seats, and cut the conservative majority.
I really think Labour could pull it off if they get rid of Brown now and have an election in 4 months time.
At least the snow will have melted by then,….won’t it?
But the Labour backbenches actually want to row their little canoe UP to the Titanic and get on board before I sinks!
Amazing.
Clarke has now also said “Sign me up too”
That makes three useless failures.
Mind you that describes the entire Labour party.

Hopfully he’s right cos if he is the extra dammage it will do to the already paranoid scotish monster could send the loon totally barking mad; and what fun that will be for the next few months as his feeble brain slowly turns to pigs slurry; watching as the odious bully grins and gurns and waves those artless trotters around like a man possesed when at photo op in an infants school, suspicious that every child who doesn’t bow down and kiss his robe is plotting against him. And all this on the Bbc
Frank Ifield of ‘I Remember You, Hoooon !’ fame, OH ?
@ TAMC: The HoonTwit Assassins. Brilliant !
13:26 Danny Alexander: “Labour has given up any hope of winning this election and given up on governing the country.
“Labour MPs are now in a desperate scrabble to save their own seats and minimise their defeat.”
Margaret Beckett described on Sky News as a ‘Warhorse’.
I suspect most Labour MPs will be too cowardly to act. As usual.
Few would understand ‘yours sororally’.
Or would that be yours orally?
Better, ‘Yours sorely’
The cowards will never act ! They are sitting tight for their payoffs.
Good riddance to utter chite !
Point of order: how can Patsy sign a letter “yours fraternally”?
He held the pen with his cock.
Brilliant
will she even remember signing it though?
It must be fake.
Come on, Labour. Grow a spine and try to derail Cameron smarming his way into number 10.
oliagenous slime doesn’t have a vertebrate
I concur.
What a right pair of ( . )Y( . )’s
Get out Labour. All of you. Now.
CALL A FUCKING GENERAL ELECTION N O W, YOU CLINT, BROWN.
If only to piss off the plotters!
“The continued speculation and uncertainty is allowing our opponents to portray us as dispirited and disunited. It is damaging our ability to set out our strong case to the electorate. It is giving our political opponents an easy target.”
I agree with that.
This is not Hoon and Hewitt trying to ditch Brown, on the contrary, this is Brown’s “John Major” moment when he famously decided it was time for the party to put up or shut up!
Well, they party did put up and even in defeat, that wing of the party, did not shut up, even during the election.
That said, at least Major had the guts to take on his party himself. He was not so cowardly as to leave it to underlings to throw down the gauntlet, because he was too chicken to do it himself.
This is a sure sign of absolute desperation and a party, near bankruptcy, that cannot even run itself anymore, let alone a country.
We need a general election NOW!
I approve of it.
Why? As soon as Brown starts picking up and looking alright they want him out? Hoon and Hewitt are utter arseholes.
14
Looking alright?
What planet are you on.
Alright compared to Saddam’s cadaver.
He merked Cameron at PMQs today. His approval ratings are at an all-time high since he became PM.
So yeah, looking alright.
“His approval ratings are at an all-time high since he became PM.”
That’s a bit like boosting Stephen Hawking by referring to his personal best long jump.
LOLz !
sick – but couldn’t resist a chortle!
Are you really that stupid?
At Rui, Tony, not you.
No. It’s the stupidest time in the last two years to launch this bid.
Rui = ( . )
Hey kobhead,take your dark glasses off.
OT sky just said Gormless had a good PMQ’s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey guess what Micheal White scores Brown 4 Cameron 3 well no surprise there then.fucking Labour lacky
Billericat, CMD had another bad one
When next week, Gordon replies to a question with a question of his own, why does n’t CMD protest to the speaker , and the camera, that Gordon is being unparliamentary?
Iain fucking Dale thinks Broon won PMQs – surely the idea is that the PM answers the questions, and until he does he can never win.
Brown looked carp, was carp (very fishy to me), still NEVER answers a question, so how can you ‘score’ any PMQs?
Is it true they wrote it in bed?
Hope they leave the briefcase closer to the fuhrer this time.
How about asking the country instead of just the privileged expense junkies in the PLP.
For the many not the few.
Remember?
It also means, that if they chose to back him, then they have to take that message to the electorate
Very clever wording actually.
My name will be on the ballot paper.
Labour need a Blairite to fight the next General Election
Hmm do you want the delusional/incompetent side of the party running the election or the evil/war-criminal side?
Some choice that. Either way the party is fucked!
Good riddance to them all too!
You’re just pissed off because Gordon won’t let you claim for any more mascara and eyeliner on your expenses. Aintcha?
Not a Blairite that looks like a roadkilled badger though, Andy.
you just said you thought it was a mistake to challenge Brown – make you’re mind up idiot
So this is designed to head off public dissent within the ranks and rally everyone around Brown, a loser, coward and delusional mental-case.
What happens then if those who are sure to lose their seats feel that they genuinely do face a better chance of staying at the trough by ditching Brown?
This could blow up magnificently and start a massive dose of bitter and brutal and public in-fighting.
They know that they cannot possibly win with Brown in charge, and they also know that he will definately not be labour leader following the election. So why not ditch him now and get a fresh face in?
The question is, by how big a margin do they want to lose by?
Think about the ones who have already said they are going – what a perfect way to get a little revenge on someone who has, by repute, managed to offend pretty much everyone he has ever come into contact with !
I heard it here second Guido.
Awesome news, Brown can not possibly survive this.
I wouldn’t bet against “Incapability Broon ” toughing it out
Manglebum got him out of the shit last time.
I’m usually in the shit
Hello! Someone call for help?
It’s a pipe dream. They may ask for a secret ballot, but that’s a long way from Gordon agreeing to one.
It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.
ITS NOT HOW OFEN YOUR COUGHING ITS THE COFFIN THEY CARRY YOU OFFIN
they could just send a ballot to everyone but Gordon and avoid him all together.
He doesnt have to sanction shit that way.
Then if the ballot is good its knives in the back time. The usual suspects wussing out until someone else goes first of course.
Do you think Brown would let it happen? I don’t, nor do they, I’ll bet. They just want to dissociate themselves and a lot of the party from him so they’re still electable when he’s not.
Always first with the news Guido, great work
How come the “breaking news link” isn’t working on the BBC website?
BBC: broken news.
Always was, always will be.
I have just spoken on the phone to my cousin in Manchester who is a Labour councillor and well in with Graham Stringer the local MP. My cousin reckons it’s a racing certainty that Brown will be out before the end of this month. He says this rebellion has got real support and is determined to finish Brown off this time.
Tell your cousin that him and all his Labour mates are hoons.
And yet the BBC has had 2 Labour MPs on the phone backing Brown during Derbyshire’s R5 show.
If there isn’t a wholesale rush by nearly every Labour MP to speak up for Brown by the end of tonight then the cracks will get pretty big, pretty quick.
I can bet Nick Brown is a busy boy right now…….
Yep – as it is only day 6 in the month he has about £322 of his monthly food claim to bill so he will be off to a restaurant to make his fat stomach even fatter – triplets all round!
A name on the ballot paper should be David Cameron’s, the leader of the most popular party in the country.
What we really need is a letter from Dan Hanaan to get that twat cameron replaced.
I think there are many tories waiting for them to get into power first. THEN get Hannan elected leader.
Personally I do not have any faith in that idea ever being allowed to get off the ground by their puppetmasters.
Indeed we do !
The idea of the population of the country being involved in deciding it’s own future it totally foreign to all these lying cheating bastards.
“We must get totally united so we can get a majority large enough to force through our policies to control the polulation” seems to be the cry of both (all?) parties.
“Leave no room for the population to effect the outcome”.
Bloody disgusting and a far cry from what “they” pretend is our democratic system.
Indeed I am thinking of moving to Iceland, where the President still gives a shit about what the population wants.
And if Gordon Brown (or his replacement) gets Iceland vetoed out of joining the EU, even better!
How can you call them “Cheating Lying Bastards”
They are not that nice a bunch !
Oi Snot Goblin, go nuke and call an election. That’ll fuck ‘em all up.
HAB – wouldn’t it be hilarious if the nasal miner actually had the cojones to do just that?
You would see the dissentry fly all over Westminster if he did. The anal sphincters would be clenching so fast, that some ministers would turn themselves clean inside out!
All this trouble going on right now yet the Coffee House blog at the Spectator hasn’t updated for ages.
I bet if it was Cameron under threat, Nelson, Hoskin, Blackburn and the rest of them would be blogging frantically.
The Spectator is an anti-Tory rag these days.
Frazer Nelson has sold his arse to the Barclay brothers.
spot on
It will continue to be with that c*nt Alex Massie writing for them.
I’ve noticed that too. Fraser’s complete about face on Labour started almost directly after he got promoted.In fact he has not had a good word to say about the tories since.
When Sky news finally started reporting on the climategate scandal (several weeks late) they had Fraser Nelson on arguing against an ardent climate alarmist. He was the most pathetic and useless person I have ever seen. he started by saying he believes fully in man-made global warming and everything the IPCC says.
All the alarmist could say is, yeah, well that is not what Nigel Lawson says!
Wha????
He is as pathetic a joke as the rest of the melonheaded labour supporting delusionists
The Nokias must be flying; any Civil Servants working in No.10 had better get their personal defence shields raised.
There must be more shields in there than the Met’s Riot Squad changing rooms
This rebellion explains why Brown was even more mental, ranting, and hysterical than usual at PMQ’s.
Yep – he was absolutely right on the edge – and that cabinet were sat there each of them thinking “how can I NOT vote against this moron”

Oi !! thats my name
but you may very well be correct sir.
Why is PMQs at the BBC having technical issues?
Global Warming – melting the wires.
looks like the neocon armchair tories are getting over excited. Ooooh. What are they going to do? Put a UKIP poster in their garden.
Leave the running of the country to us. You go back to your share options, private healthcare and plasma tv.
Said the armchair troll.
me? Armchair?
No. I’m a Labour councillor.
Just leave it to us. We are making the right decisions and Gordon Brown is providing the leadership.
antifrank is another angry and impotent little Labour troll.
The worse the news for Labour, the angrier and more ‘Comical Ali’ they get.
You’d better get back to the armchair then Antifrank. You are not only a danger to yourself, but the whole country. Just stay indoors where you can do least harm.
And you own up to it !
You must be more idiotic than your post pretends !
The best decision you could all make for the country would concern a shotgun and a head – but your all so inept – you’d probably miss !

YIHAHAHAHAHAHA
A Labour Secret Ballot! So they can just make up the result.
And a ballot about what? How many boxes? Will it be just Brown out or Brown stay?
Or will they have an opponent? How about they choose a deadwood backbencher who’s about to stand down and make him the only alternative to Brown. That should ensure a good party mandate.
What’s the point? Brown’s utterly crap and a national disaster, but they don’t actually have anyone better!
Maybe Brown will be the only one on the list
I’ve already filled in 1500 postal votes
Get your finger out, man. We’ve posted 30,000; we don’t want our benefits jeopardised.
Postal voting of course – the result is aready known.
Gordon 4,000 votes
Anon( unwilling to confirm identity unless declared the winner) 0 – voted for their opponent in the spirit of fairness and equality
an iron cast success for the glorious leader
Eye Ron
I suspect the Eton jibe was the last straw for Mandy.
phew, Cameron had a bit of a shocker at PMQ’s, he will be glad the Beeb and Sky are all over this now instead.
I remain minded it is tactical. Cameron wants to face Brown in the GE. He doesn’t want such an unpopular PM removed by his own backbenchers, so he’ll tread lightly now and wind up the wick in the run-up to the election.
Nice plan but loks like it the PLP have finally rumbled it. So now he has to hope this letter drags the PLP into a drawn out and very messy little war that turns the electorate against them.
Dismal Dave always has a shocker, he is useless and offers nothing but more of the same.
Im suprised he (CMD) knows which side of the house to sit on when he goes in – probably has a bigger argument when brown wants to sit down ! Then has to look around at who is wearing the same coloured tie as him !
Creepy lying toad !
A pox on both their houses !

Guido. Get up that clip of ‘Toenails’ poo pooing the blogosphere before the news broke.
Toenails trying to spin for Liebour like he always does, He’ll be on the phone to McMong right now getting his orders.
On the guardian website there is a comment that toenails is claiming this is all just a bloggers’ plot and not real. Did he really say that? Trying to kill the story straight away?!
That was priceless, know it all Robinson the chief BBC mong, slags off Blogosphere and then made to look like a complete tit 30 minutes later, doesn’t even have a clue what’s going off in his own Party.
BBC say: ERROR 404 (again)
McMong is the chief mong, toenails is a monglet.
13:29
Still page won’t load. Mandelson must be seriously unsure which way this will go and the BBC can’t run the story without his permission… this might be the real thing – Gordon Brown, ex-PM, most hated man in Britain..
Expect the BBC to come out fighting for McMong today.
It’s coming up to ten past one.
On the BBC there has been minutes worth of Brown supporters (2) so far.
About 25 seconds of Hoon.
Call me a cynic, but isn’t this just Buff Hoon trying to distract us from his appearance at the Iraq enquiry?
If it damages Brown, it doesn’t really matter does it?
I won’t call you a cynic but I’ll call you a Brownite Labour troll.
Just fuck off and accept that snot-eater is fucked this time.
It’s the right thing to do.
BBC reporting snow falling ………..
………as entirely consistent with the Warmist’s projections………
I thought Brown and other world leaders flew to Copenhagen to go on a jolly and increase their carbon footprint whilst telling us to reduce ours.
I now realise they were hard at work and as a result we are having the coldest snowies winter for 6 million years – Asia, America and the rest of Europe are also covered in the white stuff. Copenhagen has sorted out Global Warming. ( Although Brown says we are well placed to weather the storm and will be the first country out of the cold spell)
What is the next disaster alert going to be – something to keep the research grants flowing.
Through gritted teeth.
Or un-gritted if you’re in Berks,

Funny Pravda not reporting this.

Because the BBC are up Mong’s arse
It’s the only story on Radio 5 though they’re struggling to get moe than 2 MPs on to support Brown.
It also seems that Mandelson is behind Hoon and Hewitt and that this is a putsch that is likely to succeeed.

Fuck off you scrotum faced liar
Hey Toilets on on sky News now!!!
There will be fireworks and dancing in the streets they day Brown is outed.
Oi ! No outing !
Aljabeeba has breaking news that UDA have dismantled their weapons – they first reported this at 06:30 this morning!
They’re scared, really scared.
The BBC will do what the BBC always does, find an anti Tory story to run.
They’re back talking about the snow.
Anyone else notice that the BBC refuse to use inches giving everything in “centimetres” – they really need abolishing.
All part of the brave new world that we never voted for, never wanted, but we’re going to get. Using inches to measure snow is officially racist at the BBC.
Bad luck, I was taught in cms, so have no concept if what an inch means. I guess we have previous Tory administrations to thank for that educational decision. Also you are a complete nutter
Did they not get a copy of the memo which made clear that the ‘centi-’ prefix does not conform to the SI measurements system?
The SI unit of length is the ‘millimetre’ and the SI unit of temperature is the ‘degree Celsius’ – ‘centimetre’ and ‘centigrade’ were terms used during an interim period during which Imperial units were definitively phased out.
To be honest we don’t really care about that sort of thing – just so long as we’re not using the English measurements that’s fine. If we wanted people to actually understand the story we would have to give it in inches and that is now a sexist and imperialist term.
Now everyone watch some more videos of 32.495 centimetres of snow, whatever that means, and don’t look at the PM whose authority is imploding.
I seem to remember in the late 60s that it went Imperial – CGS – MKS – SI for measurements with Imperial still holding some sway today
Mandelson is the key. No one else matters.
TalkSport just reported that Mandelson is behind this plot to sack Brown.
Hoon making a live statement now.
If Mandy is really involved then Brown is gone within weeks.
YL – when you say “Hoon” do you mean “Hoon the Hoon” or “Mandelson the Hoon”?
There are far too many Hoons in the Governemnt to be able to keep track!
Mandleson has no interest in hoons as he has no use for them
Guess what? The BBC News website STILL hasn’t got ANYTHING on this story more than 30 minutes after it was first reported. Why???
TCH is now on live BBC.
A nation listens. Get the knief out you Hunt, stick it in Brown’s back.
Any Cabinet ministers with guts to stand down.
GH live on Aljabeeba 24
Ha ha ha, Lloyd you midget
Its a devious plan formulated by Broon himself. He is a dictator and they are whimps. The ‘secret’ ballot will show over-whelming support for Broon. Job done.
Quite. Brown’s plan to lead Labour into the election with 100% party support.
As we speak, Gordon is busy in the bunker filling in the ballot papers with a crayon.
well it would be nice forGordon to win some election / ballot.
News 24 goes back to the weather…..
Nothing to see, move along
keeping Brown is not what the British Public want..
Tony Lloyd forgot the word not.
Nice to see that some of the female Labour plants at PMQs were banging on about climate change, just as the North, South and West grinds to a halt because of snow.
By plants – I assume you mean vegetables !
– like the ones CMD wants to foist onto the witless populace and continuing the marxist social engineering plans of NuLab !
Frank Field backs secret ballot ! this is great afternoon watching. The liebour tossers are coming out licking browns arse saying what a great job hes done in destroying ooops saving the country
Moron Browns next words will be….
“I’m just getting on with doing the job
- bringing the country out of recession
- and speding more money than our country will have for the next Zillion years to make people love me !”
- I say – Fat Chance – Only loonatic Marxist sycophants will love you ! And you’d have to cut of their heads with a rusty staple to get anything through to those idiots !
Sadly – when we need a REAL Tory leader – we’ve got Ca-Moron
Of course I was not alone in wondering, Andrew, whether the rumours that were circulating around Westminster last night weren’t in fact something altogether less sinister than people were making out at the time. And I think that it is fair to say that MPs are not yet viewing this as the killer blow that will finish Brown, but – and this is a big but, Andrew – it is undoubtedly the case that if there were a sizeable contingent, shall we say, in favour of taking this to the……
(continues like this for the rest of the Daily Politics and every other news bulletin today and tomorrow and forever….)
Toilets now denigrating Hoon and Hewitt.
Spin machine now running at maximum.
Fantastic to see the Nu-Lav self destruction in full flow!
That man Hoon is a cnut.
Perhaps, but now he his a happier one….
They have the story on BBC News 24 but they STILL don’t have it on their website!?!?
Hoon and Hewitt – liebours alternative dream ticket saving the world from Bruin.
Geraldine Smith has just said that Hewitt and Hoon were never politically astute.
Then she said: the British electorate should choose the PM not a small group of MPs : THAT”S HOW HE WAS PICKED IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU THICK FAT BINT
Geraldine Smith is barley above the level of pond life. She is a joke in her own constituency.
“Geraldine Smith is barley…”
Does that mean you can malt her and turn her into whisky?
Code for barmy
Brown will not survive this challenge and many backbenchers have signed up to
http://www.labourfuture.net
ok comrades I’ll go for that
))))))
Just had a quick look at the Pravda website. Nothing on the news front page regarding this. Haven’t their masters in the Labour Party given them permission to show it yet?
I imagine that the BBC are awaiting a call back from the bunker as to how to play this, unfortunately, somebody in the bunker broke the phone…….
The rebels are in the bunker. Ed Balls is preparing his election campaign for Brown’s job right now.
STILL the BBC site gives a “404 – page not found” – unbelievable – had this been a Tory PM they would have had the pages made up in advance.
They must be waiting for the call from screaming lord mandy to tell them what to say. My guess is that mandy is waiting to see how this pans out, he clearly hates brown, maybe dreams this is his moment to be PM and then cancel the general election?!
David Miliband has refused to condemn the Labour rebels.
Fiona McTaggart claims they also have the support of several other Cabinet ministers.
The letter was sent to every Labour MP. I wonder if it was paid for by Hoon and Hewitt’s communications budgets…
If Brown has confidence in his leadership he has nothing to fear from this.
He’ll be shitting himself.
Thank you Santa – all my Christmases have come at once! (Better late than never….eh)
P.S. Did you leave enough Nokia’s in Gordo’s stocking this year?
Not late Dame Celia – perfect timing actually. Today is Epiphany, when the presence of God (made man) was revealed to the world (through the arrival of the Magi).
Seems like perfect timing to me – if today’s news isn’t a revelation that there is a kindly God after all, I don’t know what is!
Hewitt just walked into the R5 Live studio
That’ll teach Gordon to refuse her a peerage in the resignation honours !!
“Geoff and I thought very carefully about doing this.”
I fekkin bet you did.
“Geoff and I thought very carefully about doing this.”
Then again, “thinking” isn’t really your strong point is it Patsy?!
Brown is probably biting his shoulder and should be very worried indeed.
This is hilarious.
Brown is biting the pillow with Mandy giving him firm support from the rear.
Twitter tweets
NadineDorriesMP You could have cut the atmosphere in The
House with a knife. This isn’t just Hoon and Hewitt, the huddled groups tell another story.
NadineDorriesMP My money is on Clarke and Jowell, Blears and
Flint all being members of the support network furiously working the phones.
Anybody who has ever looked like a serious contender will be hauled in and given the rubber hose treatment from Nick Brown.
Good stuff.
Great for party harmony.
Ooooh !! Put me on that list.
“members of the support network furiously working the phones.”
Desperately ducking the phones, surely?
Whether or not as Tony Lloyd has just told James Langdale there is little support for Hoon and Hewitt’s proposal within the Parliamentary Labour Party this is immensely damaging for both Brown and the Labour Party.
It is extra-ordinary that within 5 months of a General Election ex-Ministers(however disgruntled) would actually push the self-destruct button.It’s unprecedented in UK politics that this would happen so ner to an election
The plot will probably fizzle out unless a Cabinet Minister resigns(unlikely)but the “bad blood” will be extremely damaging for Labour as they go into an election campaign
Animal – listening to R5 now – great stuff!
Superb performance by Hewitt, calm soothing voice that wasn’t in the slightest bit reassuring for Brown.
To say the letter was prompted following yesterday’s whirlwind rumours of Cabinet resignations, and then say she and Geoff spent a lot of time agonising over the letter is crap. This has been planned over the break, they have support and the Brown nosers are furious at being so visibly caught out.
Who’s got the popcorn franchise?

There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
Cuckoo!

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye — Goodbye!
I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

Goodbye!
From Toenails Blog 10:39 today referring to Manglebum
“Reviewing the growth policies of recent decades the business secretary describes the privatizations of the 1980′s made by the Margaret Thatcher government as “timely”.
What’s more he concedes that industrial relations underwent a valuable sea change.
Perhaps most importantly though, Mandelson does not use the word “cuts” which he dearly would like the prime minister to use. Instead in his speech he talks about “real reductions” and impacts on other services which “cannot be painless”.
I really, really hope brown survives this coup – but only just and then gets absolutely slaughtered in the real election.
No, I didn’t. I read it where the scoop was first published – the Standard! Two in one day? Have you given up all pretence of integrity?
Radio 5′s Pienaar keeps repeating the lie that the “polls are moving towards Labour”.
Most polls are still showing between 10 and 17% leads for the Tories.
BBC/Pravda = Labour. Do not be surprised that Labours unoffical news agency spout support for their masters. Never forget that the ‘corridors of Broadcasting House were littered with champagne bottles’ following the 1997 GE.
I would just like to remind people that I am and will remian a total utter Hoon
and I would lie to remind people that my surname is not spelt Hoonwit
Hoon on Sky…
Hewers on Beeb… I’m getting flustered.
BBC reporting that today is Wednesday.
… but only because of Global Warming, otherwise it would still be Tuesday.
(Checks calendar twice)
I’d like a second opinion.
I would just like to remind people that I am and will remain a total utter Hoon and so’s that Hewitt woman.
Ere love sign this document for little old Geoff would you …Nah no need to worry your pretty litle ead as to wot is is just so long as you don’t pretend to leave me after you signed it no what I mean *touches side of nose*
Says the Labour troll LOL
Breaking News: Frank Field claims a clear majority of Labour backbenchers support the calls for a secret ballot on Brown’s leadership. More to follow
There’s no point in the ballot being secret if the act of calling for one is a vote against Brown.
such a shame Stalin can’t be resurrected from the grave, Hoon and co would have had a bullet in the head by now.
I see pb.com has crashed.
Guido’s blog, the one that keeps going when the going gets tough!
So it’s not just me then. How frustrating for them at a time like this! They’ll be gutted!
All those anoraks with nowhere to go. How very sad.
Hahahahahahaha…
It can be very illuminating when they’re not discussing cats/wine/music of their youth etc and the older blokes aren’t trying to prove they’ve still got some lead in their pencils.
They will have to get a new server before election night!
And Labour a new leader if they have any sense. (Reckon Dave will be hoping not – Gordon’s his best asset so far, unless he’s replaced by someone worse).
It has collapsed under the weight of informed opinion.
Frank Field says a big majority of backbenchers want a ballot.
Mandy will only put his name to this if the soundings against Broon were massive.
If not, he’ll stay in the shadows.
kerry mccarthy now on radio5 …. can’t wait
who is she?
Kerry McCarthy on R5 now!
McCarthy reckons Twitter is all behind Brown. WTF?
dig at Hoon at sending a blank text message
Thinks this is all unhelpful
Disagrees with John Pienaar that gets his opinion wrong
Now says he has fallen into the typical journo trap
She’s getting gang-banged now and not enjoying it
Describes the news as being just a load of ex-Blairites stiring it up
brown-nosing now starting….
Gets stopped in her tracks before she can get motoring
Admits voters don’t like divided parties
So, how many postal votes does “Twitter” get?
How many would they like ?
So taking the theme of the last days in the Hitler bunker, who will be Admiral Dönitz, who was named Hitlers successor and surrendered to the allies

Rats in a sack, unfortunately, the Country is the real victim.
Graham Stringer MP reckons Brown will be gone before February and a new leader in place before March ready for the GE.
Stand your ground Gordon. Wishing you all the best.
Sky having a labour love in still claiming brown won PMQ’s and Polls are going thier way
So Hoon sent out a blank email first and blew his cover, that’s hilarious
3.5 billion a year and the BBC can’t get their website to work. What do they spend all our money on, drugs and rent boys or something?
drugs and rent boys.
The BBC are reporting technical problems with their website – it’s really funny!
Yes, your Lords and Masters at Zanulabour HQ haven’t told you what to say.
Daily Politics 11.45am
Andrew Neil: Nick Robinson, I keep hearing rumours of a leadership challenge. I know nothing about all this stuff. Should I believe any of it?
Nick Robinson: No you shouldn’t. It’s rubbish and isn’t going to happen.
That was what toenails was told to say by McMong this morning.
he also added that for real journalism don’t turn to bloggers…..twat
Badly timed. No alternative candidate. On the day of a PMQs triumph. Both frontpersons retiring, anyway. Tell them to put up or shut up, Gordon. Or, better still, just ignore them.
What triumph?
I have an alternative candidate – my German Shepherd just took a shit on the snow in the park and I had to pick it up on the end of a stick. Stick a red rosette on it, job done.
In parts of the North West (where I live) there are people who would vote for it.
and eat it
There are at least three alternative candidates all ready and willing to fight for the leadership: David Miliband, Ed Balls, and Harriet Harman.
OH fuck. A boy, a complete and utter nutter and a man hating extremist.
Lady HarHar would be an excellent candidate.
Brown was awful at PMQs. He came across as competely barking and out of touch with reality.
Martha & Toenails said I did OK, mind you they are paid for members of the Brown Broadcraping Corp!
If blundering through PMQs is regarded as a triumph,desperation is in the air.
Ha Ha. Delicious. Labour democracy in action. It’s only taken the hoons 3 years to even consider electing their leader! Bit late now, folks.
The original Hoon is living up to his name.
Is it true that Gordon Brown has just described the plotters as “bastards”?
Forget the immediate ballot for the PLP. Anything less than an immediate ballot for the nation would be a crime against democracy.
The Letter…the outcome
A point blank shot in the foot, its over bar the shouting and a few scuffles in the car park.
Impossible to recover they will not return to power.
6 January 2010:
Tamsin Whipped-Sheep MP (backbench NuLab): Gordon is the best man to lead us into the general election.
6 February 2010:
Tamsin Whipped-Sheep MP (backbench NuLab): Alan/Ed/Harriet/Jack/Mr Blobby is the best person to lead us into a general election.
Creepy -Margaret Becket has used those exact words on R5 just one minute ago.
[...] theorist I might be wondering what’s happened at the BBC just as the news about the Hoon and Hewitt letter is breaking. Convenient timing? [...]
This probably explains why Brown was florid and mad as a box of frogs at PMQs. He really was totally barmy and over the top today.
He’s barmy every week.
He’s getting worse.

Eric Pickles on Sky now – rubbing his hands together, thinks there should be an election called now
Was he eating a pie by chance?
nah, he’s just copped sight of a pork pie.
Pressgoat has just been asked his opinion on the plot and believes that the plotters are hiding in meat pies, and he will be looking into the matter by collecting as many pies as he can find and storing them in a large gapping cave he has found near to his chins where they can be examined latter.
Haha he’s fat and he likes a pie oh wait some other moron made that joke damn

This will be a secret postal ballot, very similar to a postal vote I had in last years European elections, i.e. the ballot paper comes with a unique serial number on it, which can onviously be traced back to the elector.
In true Labour postal ballot fashion, Gorgon will win with 98.7% of the votes.
Fuck it! Im off to Provincetown!
The best thing that has come out of the PLP in recent times was Tony Blair – he gave Gordon the freedom to cockup the economy and then completely finessed the lot of them by leaving Gordon to clean up the mess.
As politicians go he would be hard to replace………isn’t that right Mandy
The Guardian has come out in support of Hoon and Hewitt. Brown looks kaput this time.
Labour Suffers strategic ‘H’ bombing.
Brown’s only escape is to call a General Election in March.
But he has no Balls besides Ed.
The only man who can save this country today is Darling, if he resigns today, and he should, he will write his own history, save the country and more importantly bring politics back from the brink.
It will not save Labour, but it may see them live to fight another day.
Darling is an odd one, McMong was happy to shaft him not so long ago.
this is his chance to show he is a decent man, which I suspect he is. He was given a terrible pack of cards and was probably too honest for our Gordon
For the last couple of weeks it’s been obvious that it’s Broon ‘n’ Balls against Mandy ‘n’ Darling.
Darling put his foot in it quite deliberately the other day when he said that he couldn’t rule out a VAT rise – I wouldn’t be surprised if he resigns with Mandy’s backing, saying that Broon has lost it.
If that happens the election will have to be called immediately and Liebour can look forward to implosion – or is that my wishful thinking brain working overtime?
I’m putting my money on for March Election. Brown is boxed in, This can’t go on is the perfect delivery line. Darling could be the Man if he wants it?
off topic, but just tweeted this one.
Gloucestershire council ask for help from 4×4 drivers. Islington climate change Nazi’s and Labour Tax policy show mistake of their hatred.
Tax 4×4 out of existence oh but they can be useful. This sums up Labour stupidity and the left for the syphletic deseased brains they have.

kevin mcpropaganda is already peddling the line that this is all because hoon got overlooked for the euro job.
i don’t know whether this is more tragic then sky trumpeting that brown did really well against cameron at pmqs.
cameron really just needs to turn to the speaker and say that he will not be asking any more questions as brown refuses to answer and instead goes off with questions of his own. at which point all tory mps should get up and walk out.
He should just ask ‘When will the Prime Minister be calling a general election?’ and repeat it over and over every week.
I went up the (snowbound ) road this morning in the hope of a haircut – none of the owners girls had managed to get through the snowdrifts and so I had to wait until the only hairdresser had arrived.
The owner gave me the Daily Mirror to “read” while I waited – no wonder Brown and Ball’s don’t want any kid to be educated,because if they were able to read and write,they would never ‘read” that pile of dogshit called the “Daily Mirror”.
Total pile of crap with that wife beater McGuire peddling his bizarre theories.

British problems for British people
Boing Boing
It’s like being savaged by two dead sheep.
It’s Brown who’s going to be the dead sheep soon, you tosser.
No,Brown is a rabbit with myxomatosis.
How funny would it be if the election gets called when there’s 1000 pictures of the leader of the Oposition up on billboards in every marginal seat in the country!!!
Radio news just reported that Brown has threatened to call an immediate general election unless the rebels back down in their calls for a ballot on his leadership.
Go ahead Punk, make my day.
Eh? Sums him up that, behave or I’ll call an election, FFS
That’s the same threat Brown made during the last rebellion. It’s pathetic.
Anchor the printers in the bunker – eagerly awaiting the next downfall video..
The rebellion in the Labour Party is terrible news for David Cameron and the Tories.
‘It will be interesting to see just what Mr.Cameron and his front bench team can come up with to counter this news, at the moment all bets are off’
No its not, the fact Labour is tearing itself apart just shows they need to go, the public can see this and no matter who they replace him with, they are out.
All the BBC presenters and newsreaders from BBC1 to Radio 5 are in a terrible state and keep alternating between fury and despair. They can’t stand the thought that their hero Brown is on the way out.
IS the truth about the BBC labour support going to be seen by all, this could really be a great day
Pienaar and the rest of them on radio 5 are furious and have just attempted to savage Eric Pickles. Any pretence at impartiality have gone out of the window.
yup BBC presenter is in a flurry of desperation trying to nail Sheerman.
Enjoying it. Pravda getting in a tizz over this.
In all fairness when he and Labour are gone there has to be a serious look at the BBC. Not so much Sky as you are not foreced to pay for it but the BBC yes they must be completly overhauled mfrom top to bottom. If they refuse to be overhauled then the licence fee must be abloished and then they go ‘pay per view’
ban them from making news programmes and political documentaries etc. then they will be undeniably impartial!
will also save a huge amount of money on the website, news reporters, camera teams all round the world etc.
make them stick to educational programmes and entertainment
Roll up, roll up!

ironic that Brown ghost authored a book on courage – given he is one of the biggest bullies in politics. This coward has not faced an election and has bullied his way to the top – the worst PM the country has ever had.
Most likely ruined the country beyond repair.

polly and fraser on R5..
Just watched Crazy Horse Beckett supporting Brown. Reminds me of the feeling I had when Osborne announced his support for me.
Just looked up ‘hoon’ on wikipedia. There is only one reference to it being used as a derogatory term. A boy racer in Aus. Would be good if someone clued up on wiki could add a page on it’s UK usage as a derogatory term for an incompetent lab politician, referencing both the origina; hoon and the site where it came into common usage
The other uses have been put on there many times but removed pretty quickly. They even put it on Geoff C*unts wiki site but sadly also removed. No sense of fucking humour some people

brown beat cameron at pmqs…… showed up hollow tory policies… getting on with the job of running the country…. unfunny joke… bla blah blah
bearing in mind hoon’s brave stand i think it would be an injustice to call them hoons – they are C LI N T S
Looks like it’s turning into a damp squib.
Labour can’t even pull off a coup properly.
It will be interesting to see if sympathetic BBC journalists such as Andrew Marr return to their habit of calling Ms Hewitt ‘Pat’ rather than the usual Patricia, which they did several times when she was in trouble as Health Secretary.
Mind you, I should imagine Gordon Brown is calling her worse things…..
