The news that the unions have had to intervene in getting the party's accounts signed off just shows that for donors,the party has little chance of getting re elected.
Jackie Ashley writing in the Guardian this morning suggests that now is the time to sack him or back him,pointing out that
Where are the ministers lining up to support Brown? After the catastrophe of the Henley byelection when Labour was beaten into fifth place by racists and loopy-loos, there was no senior minister available to do the usual spine-stiffening interviews - it was left to the junior minister, Ben Bradshaw. TV producers and newspaper comment editors say it is near impossible to find senior colleagues to speak up for Brown. Even people who always supported him in the past have retreated into their shells and are privately distancing themselves.and continues
there are two choices for the senior people in the Labour party, by which I mean the ministers, the leading backbench voices, the trade union leaders and the few financial backers left. They must either get rid of Brown this year, at the party conference at the latest, or they must snap out of their grey depression and back him - and try to sound as if they mean it. Carrying on like this is unfair to him but, more important, utterly destructive for the party.
