Tom Watson to resign as Minister to take a more strategic role

Tom,

If you read this, please please please advise Brown to stand down as Leader. We are sunk as long as he's at the helm. He's despised for his treatment of Blair, his lack of communication skills, lack of charisma, his role in increased taxation without improvement in services, his complicated and expensive government (e.g. the tax credits system which fails so many needy people), and his role in allowing the banking crisis by de-regulation of financial services.

Brown is a liability to the Labour party, and it's only his arrogance and his inability to listen that's keeping him in Downing Street. For the sake of the Party, HE HAS TO GO. Please have the courage to tell him so. We must get someone to be leader who can relate to the electorate, can talk to people with passion and conviction, before it's too late. Brown's wooden delivery, his arrogance, his inability to communicate with the electorate, are leading us to disaster.

The iceberg is in sight, and he's sailing blightly on, shouting "I'm the captain, full steam ahead".

So what happened to his threats to sue anyone who suggested he knew about Smeargate? All mouth and trousers.

Strategic? At the heart of Downing Street?

Do you mean Bunker Quartermaster?

Will he have to pour gasoline over the corpse and bury the remains?

"More Strategic" role? "Call of Duty" on Playstation 3?

Ah yes. wee Tom:

A more strategic role? Advising Brown up the next election? I sincerely hope so.

I'm sure Stephen Carter will be enjoying a drink tonight with a wry smile on his face.

Labour have him and McBride to thank for their current malaise, strange how no-one has made a comment yet too.
