Stop taking shots at PM, MPs told by Homosexual Mandelson

He said voters were being distracted by "noises off" while the government needed to focus on its policy agenda.

But former minister Nick Raynsford said "more of the same" was not good enough when Labour was headed for "disaster".

For the Tories, William Hague said the government was consumed by internal divisions and called for an election.

He said the prime minister and cabinet were "weakened" and people were "crying out" for a general election.

 

Voters Distracted by what Mandelson calls “noises off?”, Know, more like we now all no what a bunch of thieving lying bunch off hypocrites you all are THAT pervert the ways of just and right to suit your own greedy needs

 

'Irresistible pressure'

The delusional Lord Mandelson told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show he believed people thought Labour was on their side and was unimpressed with the Conservatives but doubted whether they could deliver their policies. The Mandelson living in a world of delusion he really thinks that?

"Stop taking shots at the prime minister because you are simply going to make the situation for the party and government even worse," he said.

"The prime minister is a politician, not a pop star. I mean he concentrates on getting his policies right, not on being a showman," he said.

"If we get the policy agenda right, and if it's sufficiently bold and decisive then the public will take a different look at us. Mandelson so out of touch with this country its beggars belief

"At the moment they're being entirely distracted by noises off, by people who are not keeping their nerve, who are not appreciating that what is at the root of the public's concerns about the government are the fears they have as a result of the economic recession we are going through."

He said he could not firm or denies suggestions scores of Labour MPs were prepared to call for Mr Brown to go.

 

Election drubbing

But he said no-one wanted to stand against Mr Brown because the cabinet was "united" behind him. Well Mandelson wants to get behind him?

Having a third leader in one Parliament would mean "irresistible pressure to hold a general election" before Labour had the chance to sort out the economy and implement its plans for public services, he said.

It follows a drubbing for Labour at the local elections on Thursday - when they lost the four councils they controlled and their vote share dipped to an historic low of 23%.

 

Mr Raynsford told the programme the prospects were "even worse" for the European elections, the first results from which are due on Sunday evening.

He said without a change he feared a "disastrous general election" in which Labour were reduced to "an ineffective and very small opposition party".

"I am not part of any organized conspiracy; I'm speaking because I believe it is the right thing to say at a time when the Labour Party is facing a very very serious electoral meltdown which could have profound consequences for the future of the party and the future of the country."

'Negative bullying'

He added there were a number of possible leadership candidates: "If you are looking at the situation of total disaster facing us, it is not good enough to say 'more of the same'. We have to be radical. We have to think of ways in which we can re-engage with the electorate."

Asked about Labour's leadership rumblings, shadow foreign secretary Mr Hague said the Conservatives were happy to "take any of them on".

"All we can see is a government consumed by its own affairs they're not doing any actual governing. This is all about them and not about the country."

He criticized the reshuffle - which saw Lord Adonis and Glenys Kinnock, who will be made a peer, moved into the cabinet.

"He's put so many lords in his cabinet he's drifting back into Victorian times in terms of less accountability and less democratic government."

Meanwhile, newspapers have published details of e-mails sent in 2008 by Lord Mandelson, before returned to cabinet, describing the prime minister as insecure, self-conscious and "angry".

'Madness'

Lord Mandelson said the email had not been hostile to the PM but had simply advised him to be himself and to stop people "trying to glue some artificial persona" to him, in response to questions about his image.

Influential left-wing backbencher John Cruddas joined those backing the PM. He told the Sunday Mirror: "Everyone knows our government is in trouble. Serious trouble

 

"But to suggest that we'll tackle those problems simply by chucking Gordon Brown overboard is madness."

The reports come as Mr Brown faced more flak from Caroline Flint who had walked out of her job as Europe minister, claiming he treated women in his cabinet as "window dressing".

In an interview with the Observer, the Don Valley MP accused the prime minister of "negative bullying" of women and "using" them for his political ends.

Ms Flint's was one of six ministerial resignations during a turbulent week for Labour, capped by a disastrous performance in the English local elections.

Mr Brown has shown no sign of caving in to rebels' demands.

Speaking in France, while visiting to mark the 65th anniversary of the D-day landings, he said he remained focused on dealing with the economic downturn and rebuilding trust in politics after the expenses scandal.

"In these unprecedented times, you are bound to have ups and downs in politics.

"But you have to stick with policies and make sure they come through. We keep on with the task in hand and we are not diverted from it."

He pledged to set out policies on health, education and policing in the coming weeks.
