Seven Ministers have submitted their resignation this week following the scandal that hit the Labour government. In my opinion, I believe that Mr Brown has to step down and call for General Election. It is good to remember that Mr Brown forced Mr Blair to resign as Prime Minister so that he can take his place and now its his turn to go.
Caroline Flint has delivered a devastating attack on Gordon Brown, accusing him of using women ministers as "female window dressing".
In a furious letter resigning as Europe Minister, she accused the Prime Minister of operating a "two-tier Government". She said Mr Brown had "strained every sinew" of her loyalty to the Government. Her comments came less than 24 hours after she took to the airwaves to declare her loyalty to Mr Brown amid speculation that she was preparing to resign.
"I am extremely disappointed at your failure to have an inclusive Government. You have a two-tier Government - your inner circle and then the remainder of Cabinet," she said.
"I have the greatest respect for the women who have served as full members of Cabinet and for those who attend as and when required. However, few are allowed into your inner circle. "Several of the women attending Cabinet - myself included - have been treated by you as little more than female window dressing. I am not willing to attend Cabinet in a peripheral capacity any longer."
