BBC reports that Gordon Brown has written to ALL MPs urging support on the 42 days issue. What is it with Brown he loves these death-or-glory spats. Unlike Blair before him, the PM isn't good at escaping Houdini-like from Parliamentary scraps.
But I have a horrible hunch he may on this one as so many MPs are running scared.
I was not going to comment on anything political today but have had to return to blog to enable comment moderation - am getting rather sick of nasty personal abuse from anonymous posters. So from now on NO anonymous comments either
