Is Gordon Brown finished?
GORDON Brown’s dwindling authority suffered another massive blow last night when senior Labour figures mounted a show of open defiance.
The Prime Minister was told he is facing a virtual “open season” of attacks from within his own party, raising acute questions about his ability to cling on to his job.
Ex-Welfare Minister Frank Field issued a withering condemnation of the Government’s floundering response to the recession and soaring debt levels.
“We’re sleepwalking into a mega-crisis,” he said. “It is irresponsible to leave the public finances in this state until after the election.”
Former Home Secretary Charles Clarke accused the Prime Minister of a damaging attempt to “bully” his backbenchers in the expenses fiasco.
Other senior Labour MPs also lined up to lambast the Prime Minister’s botched attempt at reforming the sleaze-ridden Westminster expenses system.
One even accused him of losing his nerve after he dropped his plans to push through a daily attendance payment to replace the second-home allowance.
