"Rebels organising to unseat Gordon Brown have put together a detailed timetable for his removal that would see him turfed out of Downing Street in the first week of July.I do hope this isn't true, I was so looking forward to months and months of the Labour party tearing itself apart in public and private.
The rebels have been told by two former and one current member of Labour's national executive committee that the timescale for a challenge to the prime minister could be shrunk to as little as 23 days.
If that happened, a new prime minister would be in Downing Street by as early as 2 July and able to complete three weeks as leader before parliament breaks for the summer recess.
Rebels believe the truncated timetable will be key to persuading cabinet colleagues of the wisdom of joining a plot to unseat Brown. One of the reasons they believe some have resisted is the fear of a long, drawn-out process that would run into the autumn, with Labour ceding more ground to the Tories."

I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.
