A slow car crash
The massed ranks are massing to wield the sword to dispatch Gordon Brown.
Well almost.
In a moment of 'Not me, Brute', they are scared and incapable of actually taking a stand and saying what they are thinking.
Siobhain McDonagh and Joan Ryan actually had something to lose when they said what they said, and they duly paid the price. That they were prepared to lose the posts says a lot about the situation inside the Labour Party, and with a further 5 MPs calling for a contest the runes are quite clear.
It takes 70 MPs to nominate a challenger, something that I think is unlikely in the immediate future, but that is not the problem.
Gordon Brown is irreparably damaged, and the sooner he realises that that better for Labour. His presence is destroying the party from within, and every day that he stays the hole is getting deeper.
His one advantage is that he has surrounded himself with spineless acolytes, none of whom have the courage to tell him what is really happening, and what he is doing to Labour.
The King must die! Long live the next King! It will make the difference between annihilation and a recoverable defeat.
