TOO LATE FOR STALKING HORSES.....

Labour Home ( see link below) has a story alleging that an ex Cabinet Minister is getting set to mount a stalking horse challenge to unseat Gordon Brown. Bit late, really, isn't it?
Assuming this were true, how exactly would it help Labour's election chances? If someone like John Reid or Charles Clarke did take over there would almost certainly have to be an immediate General Election. And the consequences would be even more catastrophic than they are under Gordon Brown. It is surely a sign of utter desperation that such stories are being leaked.And it doesn't help any of the MPs who are facing the grim prospect of losing their seats.
