Conservatives Delight At Failed Hewitt And Hoon Plot To Topple Brown
ACCORDING to a YouGov poll in the Sun, 19% more of us would vote Labour is Gordon Brown were “toppled”; although 14% said they would be “more likely to back the party if he stayed”.
This means that in one act of courage, Labour could increase its vote by 5%. The survey says the Tories are enjoying a 9% lead over Labour. The maths seems clear. Which leads to the Daily Mirror’s front-page screamer:
“DUMB & DUMBER – Rebel’s feeble plot to oust PM falls flat.”
“Dozy rebels” Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon were “branded cowards” by “infuriated” Labour MPs.
You can imagine how upset all those Labour MPs in marginal seats must be at the thought of Gordon Brown being ousted…
