Green Knives Bide Their Time For Gordon Brown
So the Labour Party conference is over for another year and Gordon Brown has survived the attempts to remove him from office. How he managed this is a matter of exceptional luck, not political skill.
As the knives slide back into their sheaths wise old heads know this feat of double handed trickery cannot be repeated again. It’s only a matter of time, the mutterers continue to mutter.
However one rumour needs to be squashed right away: the one that this unrest is all about personality, not policy. Conference showed quite clearly that there are policy differences between Brown and his party, and their colour is Green.
