A senior Labour MP has hit out at Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the wake of the crushing Norwich North by-election defeat at the hands of the Tories. Conservative Chloe Smith overturned a comfortable Labour majority to win by more than 7,000 votes. It prompted Barry Sheerman - once a loyal government supporter - to call on Labour MPs to think seriously about who leads the party into the next election.
Former home secretary Charles Clarke blamed the PM for the election defeat. Writing in the Independent, the MP for neighbouring Norwich South accused both Mr Brown and Tory leader David Cameron of abandoning "fairness" and "denigrating" their MPs over the Parliamentary expenses scandal.

Chloe Smith is youngest MP ever I think, or is youngest at the moment anyway to enter the House of Commons so congratulations to her. I, as a Conservative supporter are obviously glad but am also very glad as a UKIP supporter for the incredibly amount of support they have recieved in this election, who knows maybe in a year or two we'll start seeing UKIP MPs.
I don't think Gordon Brown will go now though, many are saying he has until autumn to turn things around for ther Labour Party but it isn't looking good, do you think he should stay or go whether you support Labour or not?
