55% of Labour voters want Gordon Brown out as Prime Minister and Labour Party leader, a new opinion poll by Populus for today's Times reveals. Labour is better off without him is the view of the majority of Labour supporters questioned.
Andrew Pierce, political editor of the Daily Telegraph, told Nick Ferrari's programme on LBC FM (independent news radio in London) at 8.39 am today "His (Brown's) personal opinion poll rating is as low as Blair's was in 2003 after the Iraq 'war' - it is now even lower than Liberal 'Democrat' leader Clegg's whose party also did not do well in last week's local and London elections."
Mr. Pierce added "There are two big icebergs on the horizon for Gordon Brown - the Crewe-Nantwich By-Election (22.5.2008) and the 42 days' detention vote."
Labour have been clever in putting up the daughter of The Late Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody MP as their candidate in the constituency of Crewe-Nantwich (held by by Gwyneth Dunwoody until her death last month), Mr. Pierce said. "They have called the Parliamentary By-Election quickly and the Dunwoody name is big and popular in Crewe-Nantwich."
