Well… he is no ‘Great and Terrible King’ like Edward 1, but Gordon Brown survives… for the present. It may well prove to be a disaster and, no doubt, David Cameron is ‘over the moon’ …to bring back a phrase beloved of football managers years ago.
Tom Harris MP, who I had the pleasure of doing a podcast with recently, has a rather good post on the issue.
Prime Minister’s question
The comments are worth reading as well.
Tom Harris did have the courage to suggest that Brown might step down as leader. Tim Kevan, over at Barrister Blog is backing Purnell to be the next PM and says that Paddy Power is offering of 12-1. Might be worth a punt… I’ll put a tenner on it… for democracy. (We are still allowed to bet?… Are we? … in Brownian Britain??
And with my winnings… if I do win… I’ll buy a copy of Tim’s new BabyBarista novel.. coming soon from all good bookshops. In fact, I’ll buy it anyway.
Grappa my sun come back to the board.
Hugh G Rection… it has been many years…. I tried to reply to you by email but, alas, it bounced….
It may well be time to dig Brigadir Grappa out of the box and return to the board with my Panzer Tanks…
As you can see… I am at my post, searching for U-Boats and generally writing nonsense about our revered profession.
Trust all well.
Do get in touch through my email if you fancy it (see top of page right hand column!)
Sorry sun, I mis-typed it. Here it is again. I invite you to make a shock return to the board straight outta Chiswick, homes. Got 2 make it gr8 again.
