Many right-wings bloggers such as Guido and Ian Dale amongst others depict Downing Street as the Bunker outside Berlin towards the end of April 1945, as Hitler stared down the Soviets red barrel towards the end of the Second World War.
One must ask what the feeling will be like in The Bunker in Downing Street this evening. Each time Chairman Brown tried to gain the upper hand over his enemies, both in the Parliamentary Labour Party and elsewhere, someone somewhere was waiting to throw a grenade.
Whether it was James Purnell announcing just as the polls were closing last night that he was jumping ship, or Caroline Flint backtracking on her original support for Chairman Brown last night, by announcing whilst Brown was doing his set-piece press conference that she was resigning from the government. And her resignation in itself has caused for several cans of worms to be opened on two major issues.
There can be no doubt that her suggestion that Chairman Brown led what was a two-tier government of cronies and the rest of the cabinet, whilst treating the likes of herself, Hazel Blears and Jacqui Smith as little more than female window dressing...Now that's a bitch-slap...from the woman who stood up last night and defended him in his hour of need. Was that a premptive move by the sisterhood? I think so!
What has angered me the most about the whole cabinet re-shuffle is who is coming in. Glenys fucking Kinnock is coming in replacing Flint as Europe Minister, no doubt supporting the continuous gravy train that is Brussels. Like the Prince of Darkness before her, she is coming in from Brussels - which makes you wonder why Brown is not able to rely upon any of his elected MPs.
Perhaps he quite likes the thought of having unelected commissars who only report to him and not the electorate.
Oh and did I mention that Labour lost all four county councils that they were defending, to the Tories.
It will only get worse. If yesterday and today was Labour's Hiroshima, Sunday's will be their Nagasaki.
Night, Night
