I don't give a damn what other people think. It's entirely their own business. I'm not writing for other people.

I love this story: Whip out of job after leader call.

A junior member of the government is out of a job after breaking ranks to call for a challenge to Gordon Brown as party leader.

Government whip Siobhain McDonagh said she wanted to "clear the air" about the leadership issue.

A government spokesman said that if Ms McDonagh has not resigned then she will be sacked. The source said her replacement had already been appointed.

Isn’t it great that the "source" (unnamed of course) doesn’t know whether she resigned or has been sacked, but does know that "her replacement had already been appointed." Again, no names. Details are for the little people.

Christ, if calls for elections (hint: listening to people, Gordon) don’t work, the next step is the bomb in the bunker.
