Bye BIWI, have a good one

Ed has ruled himself out many times - wouldn't take on his own brother and reckons he's too inexperienced. I'd like to see him as Labour leader a few years down the line, I think he's mostly a good egg and very plausible/convincing

I think it's possible for GB to step down as leader while still being PM - the whole point would be to make a LibLab deal more likely (because Clegg has signalled fairly strongly that he wouldn't 'prop up' Brown as PM)

Tebbit on News24 now.

I fancy AJ far more than the Milibands, and I do mean in that way. That's a bit sad.

As a leader, i don't think either Miliband is ready, and think Ed marginally nicks it as he's more human than the robotic David.

But both, ultimately, leader material.

Think we should stage a femmo demo in favour of Harman though.

I wonder if Nick will say something to the protesters?

I thought Brown couldn't resign now.

Can he resign as leader of party but not (yet) as PM.

Could be a solution that would appeal to Nick. Risky though.

lol ninja

Were they rude to Salmon this afternoon, MrJusta? Missed that - heard that Salmon called for a progressive coalition - what happened next? (As David Coleman used to say)

Beachcomber · 08/05/2010 15:24

You are right policywonk the Pariseien elte thing does exist - it is however a relatively small pocket in a big society which is mostly undefined by class.

DavidHameron · 08/05/2010 15:23

Yeah he did on TV: Laura Kuenssberg nearly fell over.

Apparently Billy Bragg has been saying 'this time next week, David Miliband will be PM'

DavidHameron · 08/05/2010 15:21

Actually I take it back, they're not beardy lentil weavers; they're all 12

Lib Dem head office 020 7222 7999. Just ask for Nick.

BecauseIAgreeWithGordon · 08/05/2010 15:19

... and I'm so glad I don't live next door to Mr Cameron - look, they've stopped anyone from parking outside their own houses!

MrJustAbout · 08/05/2010 15:19

If there's to be a liblab coalition, I just can't see it happening with Brown.

I do believe the telephone story, as its consistent with the condescending shit that he's pulled frequently with Clegg. Given that they have to work very well together if a stable coalition is to emerge, the labour party has a choice:

stay with Gordoin and agitate for a new election in which the lib dems get oliterated

stay with Gordon and watch the great leap backwards with

replace Gordon immediately and form the core of a coalition

These options won't last long - especially if they continue to be rude to the leaders of all their prospective partners. I couldn't believe the public rudeness towards Alex Salmond this afternoon. Really dumb

I do love a good demo, esp. if I'm sitting on my sofa with a cup of tea watching it on the telly

Will Straw has done well for a dopehead, hasn't he?

policywonk · 08/05/2010 15:11

resignation as leader of the LP that would be, not as PM (I think... )

DavidHameron · 08/05/2010 15:09

Oooh Billy Bragg is there.
