In an act of pure desperation, Gordon Brown has ordered his entire Government to Crewe and Nantwich for last-minute campaigning to avoid a disastrous by-election defeat next week. According to the Daily Telegraph about 80 ministers, whips and parliamentary aides have been told to visit the Cheshire seat, amid growing alarm that the Conservatives will overturn Labour's 7,000-vote majority there on Thursday.
Following this month’s calamitous local election results and general loss of control over events, both fiscal and political, Mr. Brown’s already fragile position could become untenable if this is followed by a disastrous by-election showing.
