Pathetic and Desperate
Gordon Brown manages to cling to his premiership despite ten Cabinet Ministers quitting the Government in the past week.
The three most recent escapees from the Government are Caroline Flint, John Hutton and Paul Murphy, all of whom resigned earlier today. Last night James Purnell sent shock waves through Westminster with his unexpected resignation as Work and Pensions Secretary.
Caroline Flint, former Minister for Europe, cited Mr Brown's "two-tier" Government as her reason for leaving. Ms Flint, a close friend of former Communities Secretary Hazel Blears, hinted that the PM liked to be surrounded by his mates, while female members of the Cabinet were just there for window dressing.
Glenys Kinnock, former MEP and wife of Welsh windbag Neil Kinnock, has been elevated to the House of Lords so she can take on Ms Flint's former role in the Cabinet. You couldn't make this stuff up.
Meanwhile Labour are taking heavy losses in the English council elections.
It's been a pretty good day.
