Why won't they do it?

According to reports, the vast majority of labour MP's still support/back the Prime Mentalist. They were cheering and banging on desks during a meeting of the PLP earlier.

Voices of dissent were heard from Charles Clarke, who urged Gordoom to resign, Fiona McTaggart, Tom Harris and Siobhan McDonagh.

Bob Ainsworth said the meeting had been 'overwhelmingly supportive of the prime minister'.

So. there you have it. The PLP has just signed the papers that will banish Labour from government for many a year to come.

Excellent.
