Was today that "moment"?
Ben Brogan says tomorrow's headline will be "dire" for the Prime Minister and we should "expect references to Tony Blair's moment against John Major, when he caught the tipping point by declaring "I lead my party, he follows his"." Did today represent that sort of tipping point? Here's the videos from today and then, you decide. There is phrase on the Internet. Owned. They equally apply.

If you really want to be down with the kids, I think you'll find pwned more appropriate.
Absolutely this is a tipping point and was when he called off the election. I made this point last weekend. Freedland's article in the Guardian Wednesday was very powerful and spot on.
pwn3d actually
As I said over the weekend, I don't think the weekend itself was. I think the events that followed are what mattered. So far Brown has fucked it, then fucked it, and then fucked it again. The first fuck up alone was bad but not the killer. Compounding it is the key, and he has thus far done a good job on that.
It's past the watershed so I can agree with your comments about Brown fucking it up in more robust language than Mrs Diablo would normally allow. Well, actually no ... I can't bring myself to write the word. Years of conditioning, I suppose.
Let's just say that Brown is a first class girl's front bottom!
Ooh, now I've it it feels so good!
Ha ha. First I thought that anon "pwded" Dizzy.
But no, at 11:54 we see why Dizzy has pwn3d the blogoglobe for some time!
For further evidence that matters are shifting read Anatole Kaletsky in Thursday's Times. Brown took the piss out of the media last weekend they do not like it and will not for sometime to come.
And another thing! Why was (a young)David Davies sitting on the Labour front bench to the left of Tony Blair?
I think we should be told.
Not a good day for Brown, but hey, he's having a private meeting with Barroso on Thursday, that will get him back in touch with the feelings of the man on the street, or, erm...
Sorry Gordon, the happy days are behind you now.
Priceless at start of clip how Harman is shaking her head when Cameron has just asked "can anyone believe this prime minister any more". I think you were meant to be nodding dear!
Gordon Brown just got owned
it sure looks like tipping point. Brown howled like a bear baited and caged. Not exactly a Blair style flippant response.
Actually,i kind of miss Blair's self-deprecating "i'm a normal guy" kind of style. Instead we're getting some pretty vicious politics and I'm not sure if this is actually a good thing for the country as a whole. The general electorate might actually switch off in disgust.
