Irish Times report via their website links (which are operating) :
Labour MP calls on Brown to resign - The Irish Times - Sat, May 08, 2010
(who is operating the Twitter stream ??)
62% of the british electorate believe that Gordon Brown should concede to
make way for a new premier, interestingly the rumours abound also that
the Tories are refusing vote reform and that a snag has been hit in the
LibDem negotiations (Via London Independent) :
62% believe Brown should concede defeat, poll finds - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

In fairness to Mann, this isn't exactly a complete stab in the back, he's been actively calling for reform in the house and party for a while now, and specifically urged Labour MPs guilty of expenses issues to resign.
If you're the first out the door, that's not called panicking.
Blunkett seems to be taking a realistic view and is the most senior Labour person to hint at the possibility of opposition. General Election 2010: Labour will regroup if Conservatives make deal, says David Blunkett - Telegraph mobile
Blunkett actually called a tory OM at about 11.30 on Thurs night which was interesting.

No matter what happens regarding the formation of the government Brown must know that he has to stand down. Better to go soon and with dignity. If he did he may just snatch victory out of defeat and in Labour circles would redeem himself.
It would seem that the Conservative high and mighty are also refusing to face political reality and could well sink Cameron's opportunity to be PM.
I am of the view that it would be to the good of the country if the Conservative Party split into factions. It is currently an unworkable unholy alliance.
reports of a fluffy pillow-fight between the Miliband lads, l think in the Telegraph.
Gordon would make a good Scottish First Minister.
Brown is under increasing pressure to resign, which follows on from last evening's
rumours that the two Miliband's werr squaring up to contest and also Blunkett's
round hint at a NL regrouping : Hung parliament: Gordon Brown under pressure to stand down as Prime Minister - Telegraph
