Frightened Downing Street Pushed Ruth Resignation Story

It says something about the clumsiness of Team Brown that they had a 3 a.m. press conference in a hotel lobby to announce that Ruth Kelly was resigning to spend more time with her family. Could it be that they were scared that this was going to come out today (perhaps even in her conference speech) and other government ministers might co-ordinate their exits in order to further undermine Gordon. 

Is there any other plausible explanation?

Totty Watch : Labour Looker Spotted

Just snapped this totty straight off the telly. Julia Toft actually looks glossy and well spoken enough to be a Tory girl.What is she doing in the Labour Party?

Reports from those returning from Manchester suggest the number of activist delegates was way down on previous years. 

Government contractors, lobbyists, media and party staffers seemingly out-numbered the actual members....


UPDATE : Aha, turns out she is a lobbyist.

Press the Red Button Now Marr

Have just watched Adam Boulton's interview with Gordon this morning. (Replay is available by pressing the red button on Sky News). Adam was firm with Gordon, calling him on his credit boom being responsible for the bust, effectively questioning his lying and twisting of Osborne's words in his speech. Brown looked shifty and uncomfortable, quoting from his notes and saying that everyone has got it wrong except him. Boulton reminded Brown that in a previous interview he had told him explicitly no one would lose out over the abolition of the 10p tax rate - that was untrue. Brown glowered. Jeff Randall also gave Brown a tough interview earlier in the week on Sky News as well.

Andy Marr should watch and learn how it is done.
