Brown facing tougher questions from inside and outside the Labour Party

From LabourList / @LabourList

At today’s PMQ’s, David Cameron is likely to rasie the much-mooted Number 10 petition calling for the Prime Minister to resign. 27,000 people have now signed the petition, which – as Iain Dale points out, is more than voted for Gordon Brown in his Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency.

Of course, it’s a nonsense to think that holds any real numerical meaning. Anyone can sign an internet petition (as long as they enter a UK postcode) and Gordon Brown has a formidable 18,000 majority in his constituency.

However, LabourHome is now hosting a new post calling for Gordon Brown to go.

Gordon Brown became the leader of the Labour Party unopposed in 2007. We are now a maximum of 14 months away from a general election and – barring an extraordinary occurrence of events – this debate can only damage the Party in the run up to that election. It is important that criticism of Brown’s leadership is voiced and heard, but it is even more critical that the Party coalesce around its leadership now if we are to be united in 2010.

That said, voice away…
