Forgive me for being so blunt Mr Brown, but weren’t you the one that brought the hard times to us? As Chancellor you let the financial community do as they will, regardless of whether they flaunted good sense and displayed little fiduciary acumen. You sold gold at an historic low, losing us many billions.

Why should we trust him? Please, let there be an election.

Or if a miracle could occur, her Majesty dismiss him.

Recently, several prominent, if not quiet and unassuming, members of the Labour party have spoken out in favour of a leadership election. To recap, our esteemed leader, Gordon Brown, took over from Tony Blair in what many would consider a coup. He was not elected, Tony Blair was. I doubt he will be, he just doesn’t have the charisma.

So what do the party in power do? They sack those who rebelled. It tells me that those in power don’t have enough faith in their own leadership skills, or believe others have faith in them, to weather questions or a leadership contest. More telling perhaps are those involved: a party whip (internal Labour police force), a party vice-Chairman … you get the idea.

One of those who is/was on the fence, David Milliband, is now supporting Gordon Brown. I wonder what he was promised …
