Is Gordon in a paper bag?

Brian Cullen over at the Spectator Coffee House has an excellent round up of which Cabinet ministers have given unequivocal and equivocal support to Gordon, along with thos that has remained tight-lipped and held their cards to their chests.

I'm currently reading Anthony Seldon's Blair Unbound so would like to add another quote from it, attributed to an unnamed Treasury mandarin talking about Brown.

Gordon hadn't the faintest clue how to get himself out of a paper bag

Nothing more to add really, I just read it on the bus and chuckled given the current predicament he is facing.
