Yet another down Zulu, how many to go?

I think they will have got completely slaughtered at the polls today,and if I was a betting man I wouldnt put money on gormless being in his job at the end of the month.
wouldnt be surprised if the Tories dont do as well as they thought they would either.

As a student of Politics these are very exciting times, with the 'games' of politicians being played outin front of us in rapid succession. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I understand now that Purnell has requested in his resignation letter to Brown that he should step down as Prime Minister!

I would say maybe one other in the near future but as being reported on Sky News at the moment, Purnell has also called for the Prime Minister to stand down.  A bold move indeed

There's a rumour going round that Alan Sugar is joining the cabinet:

"19:49: The gossip is that Sir Alan Sugar's visit to Number 10 was not a courtesy call. It is suggested that he has been offered a role in the Cabinet and has accepted. This seems far fetched, but the source is good enough to make it worth recording at least......."

Surely not? Who voted for him? Then again, who voted for GB to be PM?

Must be a wind-up.
