That was an almost exciting 24 hours in politics when it was thought their may be a Leadership contest in the Labour party, but anyone who knows anything about politics knows it will come to nothing.
This is Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt, former cabinet members making a little mischief for the Prime Minister, party members have no stomach for a leadership ballot now, let alone a secret one.
Changing leader would involve a complex ballot of unions, MPs and grass roots party members, Twenty per cent of Labour MPs would first have to vote for change and it would take at least six weeks.
With a general Election looming in May it would be political suicide for them try to change leaders now whilst at the same time running a re-election campaign.
My own opinion is that it wouldn’t matter who the leader was the Country are sick to the back teeth with the Labour party and the Tories will be in power, short of Cameron being caught killing and eating babies between now and May , He will be Prime Minister.
