The council results - not the share of the vote but the actual councils lost are absolutely disasterous.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULTS

Party +/- Total
CON +191 1221
LD -13 423
LAB -210 144
OTH +25 148

This isnt final, but as we stand Labour is behind OTHERS (and these are only English councils, so no Welsh/Scots Nationalists in the equation)

6 ministers have walked out, the big guns who could have taken Brown out (Milliband, Darling, Johnson) have bottled it, made the decision that if they get rid of Brown they HAVE to go to the people - they cant give us two unelected PMs,,, and hanging on under a lame duck primeminister for 6 months might make the savaging at the General Election less brutal. My view is that six more months of Brown could mean Labour are out of power for a generation. If they take the bullet now maybe only two terms.

Its in the hands of the backbenchers now, but Brown will not go of his own accord - I genuinely think he believes he is not only the best man for the job, but the only one who can save the country.
