Polly Toynbee - Labour MPs at last seem to be ready to ditch Tony Blair: So Labour supporters tempted to give Tony Blair a bloody nose by letting Tories in might consider the damage it may do in the long term. Emailers ask angrily how else they can express their fury. The answer again, I'm afraid, is that old nosepeg. Don't use good local Labour councillors to get your revenge on the PM. His MPs look determined to see him off this time, roughly if need be, should he be foolish enough not to go soon.

Sorry, Polly. No more nosepegs. There still exists a pronounced risk that Blair can weather this storm and deliver a reshuffle instead of the fresh deck (and dealer) that's required. And we remember how well Blair 'learned his lesson' after the last election. (Take a look at this action, taken a mere 40 days after the 2005 election as just one example.)

Bob Piper said it best (see 'comments' for quote): "I can understand your reservations on [insert issue here], but your local councillor is hardly to blame. Having said that, every vote for Labour will be claimed by Blair as a vote of confidence in him."

No more promises. No more delays. We've had enough.

There'll be no more votes for Labour until Labour deals with Blair.
