The disgruntled speak out

Over at Comment Central, Danny Finkelstein’s posted a couple of no-holds-barred quotations from Labour MPs:

“Our Leader is utterly useless. If you asked him which of the two doors from this room he was going to exit from he would be incapable of choosing. And if someone else chose the door for him he wouldn’t be able to make his way there.”

And,

“The one good thing about global warming is that as the waters rise, Hazel Blears will drown first.”

Of course, it’s no surprise that certain Labour MPs aren’t happy with the party leadership.  Nonetheless, it’s telling that they’re expressing this in quite such blunt terms.  As Finkelstein says, it has all the hallmarks of a party in terminal “meltdown”.
