As the saying goes a week is a long time in politics.
Wednesday attempt by Geoff Hoon and Patrica Hewitt to force a secret vote on Gordon Brown was quite rightly given a very short life by the majority of the PLP.
Divided parties do not win elections and the timing of this stabbing of the Leader in the back was rather damaging to say the least however the public I believe are still not stupid enough to put the Tories back in charge of the UK Government.
If life in politics is challenging for Gordon Brown spare a moment for Iris Robinson wife of DUP Leader and fellow MP Peter Robinson as if having and affair with a 19 year old toy boy was not bad enough questions are now being asked about financial issues involving her lover and herself.
Maybe Mrs Robinson was trying to live up to the character in the Graduate also called Mrs Robinson who has an affair with a toy boy.
Maybe I would not take so much pleasure in the Robinson's discomfort were it not for Mrs Robinson's homophobic views.

It certainly has been a busy week. I am not normally concerned by the private lives of politicians, but Mrs Robinson is a prime case of 'do what I say' and not 'follow what I do'.
