I'm sorry Darling, it's over.

Looks like Brown will have a pretty watertight excuse to fire Alastair Darling and replace him with Ed Balls on Friday. The Telegraph have
focused on him
again in Monday's edition and it's not looking too good. As
James Forsyth
observed, Vince Cable was spot on with his damnation of Darling on Sunday:

"Here is the company finance director caught with his fingers in the till. He doesn’t explain. He doesn’t apologise. He just blames his colleagues for not stopping him. His moral authority has vanished. He must go, now."

This is the first time that TB has ever agreed with something said by the massively over rated and really rather sad Vince Cable. Perhaps if old Vince had remained in the Labour Party, they wouldn't be in the mess they are now.

So the path is clear for Balls. Let the games begin.

Although I am not an admirer of Darling, this is blatant and sickening opportunistic backstabbing on Brown's part.

What actually qualifies Ed Balls, who is largely despised, to be the Chancellor?
