The paper says
a former minister told the Evening Standard: "Brown is proving an unmitigated failure and there is no shortage of MPs who are willing to go public with that view.
"I have spoken to several members of the Government who say they will resign if it proves necessary to provoke a change of leader before it is too late. There are probably at least 10.
"There are other MPs, like me, who will sign a letter asking the Prime Minister to stand down. We cannot go on to the general election with the Government in such a hopeless state.
"We know there are candidates who would be an improvement, such as David Miliband or Jack Straw." Both developments significantly increase the possibility of a bloody attempt to drive the Prime Minister from office, a step that Labour rebels hope can be avoided by Mr Brown agreeing to go quietly
