Gordon Brown: Polly Toynbee must go
Polly says the PM must go in this morning's Guardian.
It would give us all a break if Polly Toynbee resigned too.
Yes, she has overstepped the mark. This is not about freedom of speech - it's about Polly Toynbee seeing herself as some kind of 'kingmaker', telling MPs that they must get rid of Brown by 5 June etc. The Guardian is to blame for publishing it. The same newspaper also had a disgraceful approach to reporting Gordon Brown's cleaning expenses - it was deliberate sensationalism when they already had the story about sharing the cleaner with his brother.
