Brown has developed a reputation as a bottler and a ditherer, unable to make tough decisions or choose a biscuit. One would have thought that withdrawing the whip of MPs charged with theft would be such an obvious and easy decision that even Brown could have done it promptly.
WRONG!
We then see the Labour Party's own lawyers advising the three charged MPs, a clearly an undesirable situation, clearly a need to put distance between the party and the accused, clearly an opportunity to show decisiveness.
Wrong again.
Brown cannot be blamed for the individual conduct of his party members but he can be judged by his reaction to that conduct and in my estimations he has failed.

It's not rocket science.
Brown should have jumped on this one immediately.
Alas, the ever media savvy Cam pulled the first punch and hence highlighted even further the inept dithering synonymous with our esteemed leader.
Priceless.
I think you mean landed the first punch?
To pull a punch is to not land it...
(See Lib Dem manifesto for more deatils on how to do this)
Everyone including Labour complain about the evil threesome using the parliamentary privilege wheeze.
Then we learn they are advised by the labour party's lawyers !
Cool
The worst bit of the MPA Press Release has now been dropped, thanks if you had any part in this.
The urgent thing now is to get him officially sacked pronto, so that he is no longer being paid.
I'm actually ambivalent on losing his pension. If he was a decent police officer in Thames Valley and only became bent later then it might be unfair to take away all his pension. I'm sure though there are precedents for this and he shouldn't be treated any differently from a PC who is convicted.
Any chance of a whip round for a one-way ticket to Teheran when he is released?
