Gordon Brown faced an outright call from a Labour MP to resign in the "best interests" of the Labour Party.
Pendle MP Gordon Prentice said he hoped the Prime Minister would admit on reflection he was a liability to his own party.
'I hope Gordon reflects on things during August and accepts that it is in the party's best interests, and perhaps his own, for him to stand down,' he said, adding that the Government had "gone a bit rusty".
'A Prime Minister must be able to communicate, persuade and enthuse,' Mr Prentice said.'If not, the message is lost. I want to see an open leadership election where the bar in terms of nominations is not set so high so as to exclude credible candidates.'
Mr Prentice is the first MP to call directly on the PM to stand down since last week's disastrous Glasgow East by-election.
A rebel who opposed top-up fees and foundation hospitals, he told his local party chiefs last week that he had lost confidence in Mr Brown.
'I just think we need a new leader,' he added today. Someone has got to speak out.'**We have all been speaking out, its would appear that Gordon is deaf as well blind in one eye, either that or he is not listening when he claims to be.
Oh and the tedious Commons leader Harriet Harman, insisted today that Mr Brown would not be resigning and admitted the country had "not seen the best" of him since he arrived at 10 Downing Street.
Ms Harman, who has taken the reins for the first week of Mr Brown's holiday, told GMTV: 'I have got a great deal of confidence in Gordon Brown, having worked with him for 25 years.
'I can recognise that I don't think the British people have seen the best of him yet as Prime Minister.
In short, she is talking out of her cunt again...
