Apocalypse now part 2

Just received, in my capacity as a CLP Membership Secretary, a resignation from the Party in protest at the attempted coup.

Gordon is destroying himself. He's never been so close - or so far - from being leader. He deserves to be given the David Davis treatment.

I have never more than a handful of "activists" (as opposed to paper members or armchair resolutionaries) who have drifted away because of Blair - they are a creature of mythology - and if they existed why would they be any more inspired by Brown - unless there are some policy changes he will make that he is not telling us about.

I think the letter and resignations are part of "Brown starts(ing)his leadership challenge" - you don't think Tom Watson etc would have moved without at least a wink from Gordon do you?

Manchester, to some of us, is not Northern England but the Midlands. But, as you're "soft" you must be a bloody southerner!
