So, Wendy Alexander’s standing firm in the face of calls for her to quit. Not good, says Alan Cochrane in today’s Telegraph. His article is among the angriest you’ll read all year – a perfect kickstart to the day. Here are some highlights:
“Wendy Alexander has landed Labour and Gordon Brown into one of the biggest political messes this observer has ever witnessed in 30 years of political reporting. And over a subject that should be at the very top – indeed is, at least as far as the Prime Minister is concerned – of the party’s list of priorities: the maintenance of the United Kingdom.
But this lady has been prepared to risk even that in a desperate bid to rescue her own hapless leadership, which has grown more inept with every week that passes…
…Last night there was no sign whatsoever of the limpet-like Ms Alexander “considering her position” – the normal euphemism for resignation.
