If this is a reflection of the mood on Labour backbenches, Brown need not bother with a reshuffle. Paul Farrelly, the MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme, said on Today:
I think what [Purnell] has done is a courageous act and reluctantly, and very sadly, [I think] his assessment is correct. There have been too many mistakes and misjudgements. In the interests of the country and the Labour party, Gordon must consider his position.
And:
It's not good enough to in one week to swap your moral compass for a Presbyterian conscience and pin it on your sleeve [and pretend that the Damian McBride affair did not happen].
Ouch.
