Andrew Rawnsley on Gordon Brown

From The Observer:

A Prime Minister cannot be on perpetual probation. That is a recipe for the government to carry on fragmenting, for his reputation to continue to disintegrate and for the Conservatives to cement their huge poll lead. It is evident what the Labour party should do for the good of its own political health. It ought to make a collective decision either to get rid of Gordon Brown or to rally around him. But Labour can’t do either and why that is so has become evident from the events of the past few days.

The Prime Minister does not have a recovery plan. He is nevertheless going to survive, for a while at least, because those who want him gone don’t have a plan either. There is a fearful symmetry about hunters and hunted. Neither the would-be regicides nor the enfeebled king can get their acts together.
