Who Will Fall Next?

Today, the blogosphere has been awashed with rumour and counter-rumour regarding who Guido has got in his cross-hairs tonight. His last post, posted at lunch-time today gives some sort of clue in who he is gunning for, and although he is not as high profile as Damian McBride was, the thought of Kevin Maguire, the Political Editor of the Mirror sleeping uneasily will no doubt be raising a few grins down at CCHQ tonight.

There can be no doubt at all that this has been a terrible week for the Labour Party and for the Labour movement in general, with allegations that Union funds are being used to fund the smear operation, as well as the assertion that Chairman Brown's closest political ally, Ed Balls is or was conducting similar operations.

Is it not within the realms of probability that the likelihood of Balls and McBride having contact regarding these operations is almost certainly the case. Take that to its obvious conclusions and it becomes clear that either Brown knew of this or he had lost complete control of Downing Street. Both explanations - in the current climate seem plausible.

I do have to say this though, Guido has been on one heck of a picnic. That could and should be seen as a very worrying thought for those trembling tonight...

I will have to try and post on the latest, if there is anything to comment on before I head off in the morning.
