The game is up says Toynbee

Could this be the final nail in the coffin for Gordon Brown?

She has been slowly turning but in her Guardian column which will appear in print tomorrow,Polly Toynbee says that

Gordon Brown made the rich richer and the poor poorer. The party can't go into the next election under his leadership
and adds that

As long as he remains leader, there is nothing that wretched Labour candidates can plausibly say on the doorstep at next month's European elections. They are struck dumb. Why should people vote for them? The horse manure bought on expenses is garnish for a decomposing government.
and it gets better

He may be the best-read prime minister in decades, but his learning seems to hamper instead of illuminate his path. His indecision is legendary, every department awaiting answers that linger on his desk for months as he agonises sleepless but indecisive into the early hours. But then the decisions he takes are too often tactical, not purposeful or strategic.
