Good news for Gordon Brown

Well, not really. Compass commissioned a survey of Labour party members here's some of the results:

1. More than one in every five Labour party members thinks Gordon Brown is doing badly as Prime Minister.

2. Almost a quarter of Labour's membership thinks that Alistair Darling is doing badly as Chancellor.

3. The figures for others aren't good either; Foreign Secretary - one in five, Home Secretary - 39%, Mandelson - 30%, Harman - 32%.

4. 14% of Labour members think that Brown is right-wing and another 5% can't place him on the spectrum. Half as many Labour members think that David Cameron is very left wing as think the same about Gordon Brown - but it's only 1% and 2%.

5. Only 17% of Labour party members think that Labour's policies to tackle the recession are working. 68% hope they'll work in the future, right enough, although 12% think that there's no chance that they'll work.

6. 66% of Labour party members oppose Labour's policy of privatisation of the Post Office and 5% think it doesn't go far enough.

So, if Labour party members don't trust Labour, why should anyone else?

Mind how you go!

Recasting these numbers:
1: 80% of Labour members think Gordon is doing OK as Prime Minister.
2: 75% of Labour members think Darling is doing a good job as chancellor.

That is absolutely mind-boggling. Turkeys voting for every day to be Christmas.
