Labour to look for new leader….
……if Brown is defeated on expenses votes?
Interesting comments from Alex Hilton at Labour Home this morning
A former Cabinet Minister is rumoured to be prepared to stand as a stalking horse candidate to trigger a leadership election if Brown loses the expenses vote tonight.
I have phoned this MP seeking confirmation of his position but he has not yet returned my call.
As we discussed earlier, the big question has to be whether or not it’s too late, or whether the British public could stomach another unelected Prime Minister before we get a chance to decide who we want? Remember, the only people who have ever voted for Gordon Brown to be anything are a few thousand in Fife. He didn’t even face an election to become leader of the Labour Party!
Any phone calls yet Alex?
