The Crew of the Nantwitch

Gordon Brown's future as prime minister now hangs on two things - the response of Labour MPs to the party's historic and overwhelming defeat in Crewe and Nantwich and his own analysis of why thousands of former Labour voters in this Cheshire constituency gave their support to the Conservatives.

Some Labour MPs will panic, perhaps even going so far as to call for Brown's head in public.



As for Gordon? He is clearly not going to go voluntarily, a putsch will be required. My money is on Charles Clark being the man that will draw the first sword.
