ALLIES of Gordon Brown today accused his critics of "putting the knife into" the Prime Minister, as a senior Labour MP predicted he would be ditched as the party's leader within the next two years
Frank Field, who led the backbench revolt over the abolition of the 10p income tax rate, said he would be "very surprised" if Mr Brown was still in charge at the General Election, expected in 2010.

Health Secretary Alan Johnson acknowledged the "knives (are) coming out" for Brown.

BIG EYE,

This is news?

Everyone who follows politics, irrespective of political belief, considers him dead man walking.

People who disagree with you can sometimes be persuaded to think again, people who laugh at you, like people are laughing at Gordon and Wendy nowadays are gone for good!

Great relaunch plan by the way, let's talk about our ageing population...but wait a minute was it not Gordon Brown who raided all these people's pensions with his stealth taxes robbing them all of thousands of pounds and greatly increasing their dependence on the state in the years ahead.

Don't worry Gordon you will be remembered all right!

Labour have to do the decent thing and put him out his misery.

I'd have a little more respect for the whisperers if they'd be more specific. Given Labour's antiquated system for regicide, what about telling us how it's going to happen and who's waiting in the wings?
