Clive on Brown

I would rather pull my teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers than support Gordon Brown. His coronation as Party Leader and Prime Minister will be a disaster for both Labour and the Country itself, his conduct and actions over the last 10 years showing just how ill-suited he is to any position of leadership.

It’s strong stuff, yet I can’t help but grudgingly agree.

Clare Short made an interesting point on last night’s Dispatches, when she said that maybe Gordon will relax when he finally gets the keys for Number 10. Maybe he’ll start to trust and stop being so suspicious and controlling. Maybe.

    I insist Labour will make a giant gaffe if its leaders are to come from members of the government that has accompanied Blair all these years.

    I cannot see any charismatic person among them, they may have particular skills but they are not leaders altogether.

    Those with charisma left Blair when the occasion of their disagreement compelled them to leave.

    Well the politburo, sorry, Parlimentary Labour Party hath spoken, and we shall follow.

    Charismatic? Maybe Alan Johnson - he’s very personable, but there wasn’t really much choice.
