Noneth...Sean <i>The worst outcome is Brown limping on</i><br /><br />Nonetheless I'd say that remains the most likely outcome. What we do now know is that there won't be a clean, surgical putsch; this is already a public punch-up.<br /><br />So of the four options I listed yesterday, the two best (from Labour's point of view) - namely uniting around Brown, or cleanly removing him and anointing a new leader - are now blown out of the water. They are left with either a messy change of leader, or limping on with Brown.<br /><br />Either way Cammo is the winner from all of this.Richard Nabavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528980060497008785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-75722804562772339662010-01-06T14:22:12.041+00:002010-01-06T14:22:12.041+00:00Not sure if this has been posted.
