Junior whip Siobhain McDonagh, an “arch-Blairite”, has been sacked by Gordon Brown for calling for a leadership challenge.

In another sign of discontent about Mr Brown, 12 Labour MPs have written a joint article for the Blairite magazine Progress calling for “a convincing new narrative” which is more than just “a series of policy initiatives”.
Sound familiar?
