Brown's Opponents Book Drinks Party!

James Purnell, the former secretary for Work & Pensions, has booked a drinks party at Manchester Town Hall on Monday evening! Along with Caroline Flint, he is one of the few senior Labour Party figures who have grown a pair, and actively called for Brown's head.

Now, one only books such a grand occassion for a major event, no? And what kind of major events may take place on a Monday the day after a second election annihilation in three days? Is Purnell hoping to celebrate with his Blairite cohorts on the destruction of Gordon Brown? Unless, of course, he has another plausible explaination!

Monday day-time is when the Parliamentary Labour Party meet the Prime Minister for the first time after the Weekend of Destruction. If Gordogeddon is going to happen any time soon, Monday will be the most likley day to see everythig kick off again!

Mr Eagle Eye approves of this bravado, and feels Mr Purnell deserves a pint!
