Gerri Peev: Biggest story so far in Brown meltdown
As the Cabinet implodes and Brown clings on by his fingernails (which incidentally are very short because he bites them), news reaches us of the most momentous development so far.
A telescopic SNP press release lands in the inbox:
Its headline reads: BROWN MELTDOWN REFLECTED IN HEARTLAND BY-ELECTIONS
LABOUR JUST CLING ON IN SAFEST WESTMINSTER SEAT IN SCOTLAND
The release details the earth shattering news that the Labour vote in a by election in Coatbridge North and Glenboig in North Lanarkshire has collapsed.
But er, Labour still won. This is hailed as a massive blow for Gordon Brown by Bruce Crawford.

Mr Gray called it a personal humiliation for Mr Salmond. But then, you said clever, didn't you!?
