" Labour MPs warned Tony Blair last night that the Government was in
danger of "falling apart" after the arrest of Lord Levy over an
alleged Downing Street cover-up in the "cash for honours"
inquiry.

The Prime Minister, in one of his worst days at the despatch box, faced
taunts in the Commons about the spectre of Watergate, and was told by the
Tory leader David Cameron to quit "in the national interest"
after Lord Levy's arrest on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish Nationalists, the party that triggered
the police inquiry, gestured to Mr Blair that he would be put in handcuffs
before long. "The Prime Minister has taken a vow of silence while his
whole house of cards in Downing Street is coming tumbling down," the
SNP leader said later.

Dismayed Labour MPs said Mr Blair seemed "oblivious" to the
damage being done to the Government while he refused to give a timetable
for his departure. "There is a sense of total frustration across the
backbench," said a Labour MP. "It is agony, like watching a car
crash in slow motion. Things are just falling apart.""


The bets are on.....the horses are off....

I reckon it's mayday in more ways than one.
