Hazel Blears has been the subject of much interpretation over the weekend with Labour ministers and the like displaying a mixture of denial and spin, as they waffle on to the effect, that her suggestions that Labours performance was lamentable has been misunderstood.
The fact is any rational person, looking at Gordon Brown’s recent Youtube performance, would find it difficult not to jump to the conclusion, that its not just the country that’s in dire need of help, but Prime Minister also whoes in need of help and a break and preferably a long one at that, which would be just the thing for him and us.
I’ve no doubt that come election night for the European and County elections, assuming Gordon Brown doesn’t have the good grace to step down immediately and save some of his colleagues from the P45, those MP’s who have nothing to lose like Stephen Ladyman might well turn on him anyway.
Talk of Browns successor range from Harriet Harman to Alan Johnson, which will be a waste of all the current crop of Labour politicians as its probably only Hazel Blears, that even remotely connects with the British working classes. Hazel Blears has in the last year or two identified with those issues, that most Labour MP’s don’t have the balls to mention.
