If you want an idea of the pessimism and despair among Labour supporters at the moment, do check out this running LabourHome poll. Its headline finding, so far? That some 49 percent of respondents think Brown should be sacked, as opposed to 34 percent who think he should stay on. 49 percent also believe that the 42-day detention plan should be dropped, and only 10 percent think the HQ team should remain as it is. Hardly a grassroots endorsement, then, for our beleaguered Prime Minister.
