James Purnell Resigns: Wants Brown to Go

[Doctor Carrot]

I guess there's no point putting him in the slap gallery now. Who wants to slap a nobody?

For Purnell, I'm sure people would make an exception.

 

[treelover]

Massive negligence there by the Ed, Mods, Purnell should have been in the Slap Gallery ages ago.

He is out of touch with ordinary posters.

Moderators used to come into the profession after long careers as trolls, banterers or conspiraloons. Now, they achieve preferment too early and know nothing of the real world.

You are clearly just jealous of my duck island.

 

[butchersapron]

Here come the new lot, straight from oxbridge PPE and think tanks, head down for 10 years - aren't we lucky?

 

[Nemo]

So, who's going to be PM this time next month then?

It's the expenses claims the poster in the street won't accept.

I'm looking for Ester Rantzid's phone number as we speak . .

I thought her number was 666.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'll see your 'good riddance' and raise you a 'fuck off and die.'

ON YOUR FUCKING WAY SON


at last, he slinks from the sinking ship

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Yes, fuck off Purnell, fuck right off the political fuckoffosphere and don't take a fucking map or sat nav either.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

So, who's going to be PM this time next month then?

I'll stretch my neck out here and say "some cunt".

FFS, can't we just enjoy/savour this moment for a few minjutes you spoilsport.

 

[treelover]

But clearly Purnell, a former culture secretary, had lost confidence in Brown's ability to develop a sufficiently clear domestic policy. He had also become *disenchanted with Brown's interest in constructing political dividing lines with the Tories, arguing that such politics alienate the electorate.

er, hasn't Purnell in his the welfare reforms done his best to outbid the Tories in the race to the bottom.

Between Alan Johnson and Harriet.

Yes, 24 minutes, then back to the grind.

The next leader is not the next leader.

 

[treelover]

@Fed, yes i imagine a fair few civil servants will be very happy tonight, Mark Serwotcka will be for sure.

 

[Nemo]

Between Alan Johnson and Harriet.

What an exhilarating prospect.

ON YOUR FUCKING WAY SON

Fellow Ted Hankey fan?

As distressing as the notion is I fear Purnell will shortly be back elevated to high office in The Postie's ship of fools.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

good riddance to bad rubbish.

i've just been laughing up and down the hall, doss cunt, bye bye....

 

[shagnasty]

He has stabbed brown well and truely in the back.It shows what treachorous scum he is.You can be sure he is jocking for a position.the man is loathesome cunt

 

[YouSir]

God Purnell is a punchable cunt, just watching him gurn on BBC1 fills me with an element of anger.

I wouldn't bet on that; he's now established as unreliable and not a team player.

 

[Fedayn]

No doubt about it.

YAY!!!!!!!

they're all a shower of wankers, its simply smug/smeg bwoys that make it so apparent.....

He's not special - they're all like this.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

s'what i said you plaigarist

 

[YouSir]

I reckon he'll go for next but one leader, assuming Brown does go, which I wouldn't put money on.

And then I reckon he'll lose, badly.

 

[treelover]

And if Purnell has been talked about on the right of the party, then Jon Cruddas can be broadly defined as on the left. Cruddas is known to be in a quandary about how to respond to the Hotmail plot. However, in the last year, Cruddas has been very complimentary about Purnell – regarding him to be a Blairite the left could be able to do business with. Purnell's ascension to the backbenches will add to the many meetings Cruddas has been convening in the last few days to figure out what to do.

Cruddas, the left winger, not

You have a gun and one bullet - Mandelson or Purnell
