I'm sure there's a song title in there somewhere????

I just heard Nick on the BBC saying that he (Nick) "knew in his heart" that DM will be announcing he is leaving frontline politics tomorrow...

What do you think - will he/ won't he?

And what will he do next?

Personally I think he will go. I imagine he will have all sorts of interesting job offers on the table - he has proved himself as a very able politician/statesman.

Mollie - yes, you're right, LOL - you'd have thought he'd have learnt his lesson!

Yes, in theory, but you could just see all that emotion simmering beneath the surface in the pictures of him watching Ed give his speech.... maybe the best thing for the party would be for him to elave, or else they would be in danger of having another Blair/Brown rivalry situation?

I've been in a situation where I competed with someone else for a job and lost, and I couldn't stay on to work for them, because in my heart I honestly believed I could do the job better than them/ was better qualified etc. (Was pregnant at the time, and he was a bloke, but that's another whole thread... [anger])

Is that the same Nick Robinson who calculated live on air on Saturday that DM had definitely won the leadership contest? Got that right didn't he? Confused

He should stay, and put his loyalty for party and country before personal motivation. To leave now would be akin to throwing his toys out of the pram.
