I'll have a word with Head Technician. I entirely agree that Gordo won't step down voluntarily - more what I meant was that if they keep resigning, even if in a slow one-after-the-other fashion, eventually so many will have gone to signal a clear opportunity for a vote of no confidence.

Gordon Brown will never, never, never resign voluntarily. He is convinced he is the best person to lead the Labour party. He has been convinced of that since 1994 at least. He will not change his mind unless he physically cracks under the strain. Only a no confidence vote in the House of Commons could bring him down, and the Labour <strike>Turkeys</strike> MPs will not be voting for <strike>Christmas</strike> an election any time soon. The Labour party and the country will have to suffer this awful spectacle for months. The slow trickle of resignations, if it continues, will bring down Gordo by the end of the week.
