War at 10 Downing Street, Balls vs Mandelson

The Sunday Times: Reports that a War has developed between the Schools Secretary Ed Balls and the 1st Secretary, Business Secretary Lord Mandelson. That is the problem for PM Gordon Brown, Lord Mandelson is great at the dark arts of politics, like winning elections but does not work well with others, Ed Balls has long been a close aide to Brown, he was promised that he would be made Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Cabinet reshuffle but Brown was weak, his protector Mandelson it can be postulated told him that Balls was even less popular than Mandelson with Labour backbenchers, thus he didn't get the job. The problem is that Mandelson as stated is the Dark Prince of Elections, great for getting you elected but your political career should not be based on his support, thus PM Brown has gone from Stalin to Mr Bean to a drunken sailor that has to protected against himself, poor Brown.

Sexiest Brown - Flint

BBC News: Reports on the resignation letter of Caroline Flint, the Europe Minister. The followings lines are quite brutal, Ms Flint writes the following on her treatment by Brown, " Several of the women attending Cabinet - myself included - have been treated by you as little more than female window dressing. " Ms Flint in essence states that PM Brown runs a all male club with a few exceptions for PR. What is odd about the resignation is that Ms Flint came out at 10 last night to support PM Brown, but she made a political mistake, never give political support when needed in less you get something in return, thus Ms Flint should have gotten a Cabinet Job Offer before supporting PM Brown after the Polls closed. As to PM Brown he has survived the resignation last night of a Cabinet Minister and the bad Poll results, in less Labour MPs have the backbone to remove him, he will lead Labour in to defeat in 2010.

US Reporters on Trail in North Korea

The New York Times: Reports that two US reports will face trial today in North Korea. President Obama is great at rhetoric, but his weakness of action over North Korea has shown that he is weak. In Prague on his Apology tour he stated that WORDS MATTER, well Obama has condemn North Korea and what happens, they test a second nuclear bomb, also test their short range missiles. It is reported that North Korea is getting ready to launch another long range missile, one can postulate that Obama will do nothing after North Korea launches a second long range missile. At the end of the day Japan will have to go nuclear, as it can not trust Obama to defend it, thus South Korea will also go nuclear. Israel will have to decide if it can trust a Liberal President to come to its aid should Iran become a nuclear threat, North Korea has sold its technology to Syria and Iran, Israel had to have an air assault to prevent Syria going nuclear, at the end of the day Israel has to protect its own people, the Obama rhetoric has one flaw, it has no backbone. Thus President Obama is a great communicator but he is no Reagan, Reagan could back up his wise words with a action, the problem is no thinks Obama will really take on Iran, thus it will have to be Israel. One can postulate that Obama will not be added to the list of great Presidents after 1945, FDR, Truman,JFK and Reagan, he is just to weak.

The Demise of PM Brown ?

The Times: Reports that the political knifes will be out for PM Gordon Brown at 10pm tonight when the polls close in the Euro and Council Elections. This cold be the tipping point folks, one way or another, either New Labour will have the backbone to throw Brown out or we are stuck with a weak government for a year. If Labour does not act, expect a year of bad polls for Labour, the Party will go in to a battle of the death, if Labour does not act they will regret it for decades. Its 50/50 if a new Leader could make a difference, but its a 100% if Brown is still PM next year that Labour will go down to a defeat even more epic than the once faced by the Conservative Party in 1997. So Labour MPs if you want to save your seat and your party, it time to get the carving knife out and cut beat, the Health Secretary looks like the man to lead the Party, Ex - Postman, has the common touch and has not be effected by the expenses scandal. Thus expect a bloodbath either way after 10 folks.
