After the coup, Brown tries to give hope to a well-attended PLP meeting
It’s a well-attended PLP meeting – MPs are struggling to get into the committee room.
Gordon Brown is up first. His trio of election strategists – Peter Mandelson, Douglas Alexander and Harriet Harman – then speak.
Charles Clarke has gone in to take his medicine.
There’s speculation that after his meeting with his own activists on Friday night he might well formally announce that he is giving up coups for Lent.
Gordon Brown’s just had some applause.
He’s expected to try to give the MPs hope, talk up the economy and not look back to last week, already dismissed as silliness and a storm in a tea-cup.
