Darling to resign just before PMQs tomorrow?

An anonymous commentor left an extremely off-topic observation on my Informix roundup.

Personally, I can't see it. Why would Darling voluntary release the levers of power (even if he doesn't really hold them) and forgo all that yummy money? And what about Mandelsnake and Campbell -- losing control of the media narrative like that would show that their grip has been severely weakend.

Mind you, I did read recently how disruptive being Chancellor is to his home life, I wonder if that wasn't a bit of spadework. Having the Chancellor resign just before PMQs would certainly piss in Gorgon's chips.

Where are these rumours coming from? Who benefits by spreading them? Who benefits if it's proven false? Who benefits if it's proven true?

And at the end of the day: who really cares? If Badger does fuck off, some other nonentity will feel Gorgon's fist reaching up his fundament and take control of his jaw. Even if it does bring the whole sack of shit government tumbling to a fall and Cameron takes hold, we'll still be fucked, we'll still be ruled by the EU, our economy will still be pebble-dashing the lavvy, and one bunch of unprincipled, power-hungry fucks will be replaced by another bunch of unprincipled, power-hungry fucks.

Whoop de fucking doo.

Update: I suppose I should say that I would glean some enjoyment from the inevitable "ferrets in a sack" that would follow.

Update 2: sounds like it was all just wild speculation. Allegedly.

It wouldn't make a scrap of difference if he resigned, because he's just a glove puppet. The Gorgon will soon find a new Mr. Hat to take his place and the voice will be the same.

It would be a hell of a laugh though. We could all do with cheering up.

Regardless of the outcome, it would be worth him resigning just to watch Gordo's face....especially if he didn't know about it.

Gobbler would have a fucking stack overflow error.

Recently he does look like he is going to burst into tears at any moment.
