A leader adrift
The Times reports that more than half of Labour's supporters believe that Gordon Brown should stand down to make way for a more electable alternative.
Of course this is just one poll and things could easily change tomorrow or next week or even next month. Nevertheless, it cannot be a comfortable position for any leader to lose the support, confidence and even trust of some of their key party members as well as large numbers of their potential voters.

Sounds just like Mike German.
Anyway, forget the new Labour leadership race, what about the all new Liberal Democrat leadership race?
Are you standing in October, Peter? I understand they are having a "review" of the leadership election rules. Is that to stop you winning? You had better be standing. I'd even join your Party to back you and to help you win.
Just think - I could be your press officer. :-)
