Impeach Brown

Sir: If the problem with removing Brown is that Labour’s front bench don’t want the responsibility (Politics, 20 September), and if the scale of Brown’s financial duplicity is as great as you say it is in your article (‘The great debt deceit’, 20 September), surely a parliamentary motion to have Brown impeached would find overwhelming support on both sides. As with Richard Nixon, it doesn’t actually have to take place to have the desired effect, and above all it will allow free and full discussion of why we are in this mess, and the scale of the clean-up necessary.
