´óÏó´«Ã½

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Labours only chance of survival is to elect a leader and deputy who want to improve the UK and not be led by people merely interested in power for the sake of being in power like Blair and Brown.

John Cruddas and Alan Johnson would make a very effective leadership for Labour.

Holy trivia, Batman, hold the front page!

Oh, you have.

This just in: someone else has said they don't want to do something. We'll be sticking with this story as long as we can to avoid 'other stuff' until the latest election complication is over.

You can pop that 'we're not reporting...' thingie up top right on the home page again.

Oh, you never dropped it.

Remind me, how much cut from the education budget recently?

No news is good news. If you can arrange it.

A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

Watch out for the Postman. Proper handling of the mail relies on trust. Sincerity, dedication and not a bite mark on him . . .

But yet - a party politician through and through.

SPOIL PARTY GAMES.

Cruddas leadership does not interest me, nor does his possible leadership interest me. What does interest me is do our armed forces have enough helicopters in Afghanistan?, and if as our Prime Minister says we do have enough helicopters then why is our Defence Minister saying he is "busting a gut" to get more helicopters out to Afghanistan?.

Yesterday, Gordon Brown reasserted the UK had enough helicopters in Afghanistan (totally missed by Newsnight), today his Defence Secretary undermines the Prime Ministers claims with his assertions, now as Newsnight is supposed to report the News, I would have thought that this story is of much more importance then some internal Labour leadership story.

Come along Mr Crick, I can think of at least 10 political stories that have more merit to be discussed then this non-story.

Oh yes, and one other rather big POLITICAL story that might be of interest........the Norwich North by-election, I really do have my concerns that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ does it upmost to ignore stories that might reflect negatively on the Labour party.

Not to mention the outrageous fact that ex Speaker Martins constituents are still without an MP after such a long period, and without any date set for a by-election. One can only imagine how the ´óÏó´«Ã½ would have treated these two stories if it was the Conservatives who were A) about to be beaten in the Norwich North by-election, and B)treating UK citizens with such contempt in Scotland.

I suspect you are going to find out next year. The Beeb is loyal to whoever happens to be running the British State at any one time. "I to the tills will lift mine eyes, from whence doth come my licence money, and huge expense account."

I like his honesty. Maybe, he saw himself that he cannot be an effective leader if he will run for that position next election that's why he boldly said that he don't have the characteristic that a leader must have. As far as I am concern, he was just being honest. Thats it!

only when the labour party uses the talent of the left will they make any headway electorally we have tried the right wing fascist end of the party and it is brought us to this sorry state

Maybe this 'hold the front page' story has become more relevant after the Norwich N. results??
