What I find shameful and fundamentally wrong is the way Derek Simpson is acting as a Kingmaker. It is shameful and wrong that one person can wield so many votes in a Labour Party leadership election. It is like the 'super delegates' of the Democrats in the US. Why should one person's vote matter more than anothers?

That should be the spin of this story Michael, not the Ed Miliband prospects of becoming leader.

no no no crick.

Lord Tony is coming back in a 'Return of the Jedi'.

as the only labour leader who has won three elections he is young enough to do another 10 years once Gordon has been humbled to the back benches as a failure.

McCAVERTY - THE BACK BENCHES - YOU ARE JOKING (#2)

And as for Limited Ed Miliband leading anything but a scramble for the ice-cream van, squaddies might fly!

Much more worthwhile to consider what excuse Brown will use to spend more time with his pension. How is his capital with the World Bank? A figurehead post perhaps? He is going to want a medal - Tony got one.
Or will he turn to fiction writing? A series of novels where the underrated Man of Courage saves the world from the machinations of the 'Antichrist Orator', by throwing gold into the Cracks of Doom?

So you accept that Brown is finished ?

labour is more likely to think 'new labour' has failed so go back to a real socialism candidate?

@ jauntycyclist

Spot on! - Michael, you would be better off putting your money on Jon Cruddas as Leader after GB implodes post-Election. Ironically, he could be just the kind of unity candidate that Labour needs.

CRUDDAS CERTAINLY IMPRESSES AS LESS-AWFUL (#6)

But would he wear the right vest into that iniquitous place, on the first day? Who will rid us of this terrible charade?

Has he ever stood up for US? Those who connive at Party Games and the Westminster ethos, AND SAY NOTHING, are condemned by their own inaction.

SPOIL PARTY GAMES.

Twitter - Straight from the horse's mouth - Michael Crick has blogged on why he thinks Ed Miliband could be a top tip

Gotta watch those equine anatomical allusions. But I guess, like so much these days, if those who know better than others simply say it, then it must be 'settled'.

Unless of course, one begs to differ. Then things go flat.

I believe presenting science on Cbeebies with Justin in the kitchen cabinet with the rocket scientist awaits.

Or is that being cut too?

please not one of the Millies, their Dad had priciples but would hardly recognise the Labour party of today, Labour HAS to move left as any further to the right they will be outTorying the Tories, tuition fees, Iraq, the 10p fiasco all disasters that even Maggie would not have touched with the proverbial so Cruddas must be given a chance......
