The weekend,far from being a respite for Gordon has simply seen the political anti turned up and this morning's papers will make more uncomfortable reading.

None more so than Trevor Kavanagh in the Sun who says that

and adds that

Labour’s mood is now rank with recrimination. Gordon is a fabulous disappointment.
Having persuaded his party there was no one else worthy of consideration, he turns out to be an empty vessel.

Hazel Blears appeared on the 8.10 slot on today this morning but even her cheery disposition failed to disperse the gloom from the party She almost resigningly described him as a man of conviction and a serious person who thinks deeply.She followed Nick Robinson who immediately after his appearance blogged that

adding that
