BROWN’S ELECTION MELTDOWN

The Daily Express are predicting a election meltdown for Brown.

LABOUR is on course to come fourth in next month’s Euro elections, the party’s senior MPs fear. Canvassers campaigning for the ­European Parliament poll on June 4 are detecting a surge towards the UK Independence Party.

Some fear even traditional Labour voters are ready to back the anti-EU party as a protest vote. But the public anger against the mainstream parties is not translating into support for the extremist British National Party, Labour insiders claim.

One senior backbencher said: “We really could finish fourth in this ­election. That is how low Gordon Brown has brought us. The voters hate him and they want to punish Labour.” Another Labour backbencher said: “On the doorsteps, people are saying ‘Voting BNP is a step too far but UKIP are getting my vote’.”
