"Labour is suffering a grim night in local elections in England and Wales, losing more than 100 seats so far.

"BBC research suggests the party has fallen into third place nationally, taking 24% of the vote, beaten by the Tories on 44% and Lib Dems on 25%.

"It is thought to be the worst projected share for Labour in 40 years."

I am reminded of what Churchill said to Neville Chamberlain after Munich: "You had a choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and will have war."

Gordon Brown, honourable sir: I know you did not initiate the government's involvement in the McCann mess; you were handed it by Tony Blair. But once you became Prime Minister you, too, had a choice - between dishonour and embarassment. You chose dishonour, in my opinion, and before this is over, you will surely have your fill of embarassment as well.

Tonight was just the beginning.
