Veteran MP and former minister Michael Meacher is to announce he will challenge Gordon Brown for leadership of the Labour Party.
BBC, Meacher enters Labour leader race
This MP, who famously used Britain’s much-derided libel laws to sue The Observer newspaper and then lost, spectacularly, having to pay costs, also ran into a spot of bother over 9/11
This is what Meacher wrote:
Was this inaction simply the result of key people disregarding, or being ignorant of, the evidence? Or could US air security operations have been deliberately stood down on September 11? If so, why, and on whose authority?
The Guardian, This war on terrorism is bogus
Now this person wishes to run for the leadership of the Labour Party against Gordon Brown - and if he won he would become Prime Minister until the next general election when, obviously, he would be voted out of office.
Meacher can’t be serious in his bid so I presume there must a a murkier plot here. The BBC’s suggesting Chancellor Gordon Brown would welcome a challenge, knowing he’d win of course, to legitimate his leadership of the Labour Party. I wonder if Meacher’s still missing his ministerial perks.
