ROBERT Kilroy-Silk was once the MP for Knowsley. His departure from that position was not mourned and he was succeeded by the popular George Howarth, who is now a privy councillor, who strangely enough was opposed in a bye-election by Rosemary Cooper who was then a Liberal and is now Labour MP for West Lancashire.

The BBC UK politics homepage is as unbiased as ever. The top news story is that "Brown critic 'ends hostilities' - One of Gordon Brown's leading critics, backbench MP George Howarth, says his campaign for a Labour leadership contest is over" This gives the BBC a chance to have as subsidiary articles: "Who's who in new cabinet, No time for a novice, says Brown and PM defiant over leadership talk" The...

George Howarth, who a few weeks ago evoked memories of Hitler and Chamberlain to describe why Gordon Brown had to go, called a halt to hostilities at last night at the Parliamentary Labour Party meeting.

We have now reached the slightly surreal stage in the attempt to unseat the Prime Minister of discussing the etiquette of rebellion. Over at Coffee House James Forsyth argues that George Howarth's disobliging remark that G.
