Gordon Brown today faced another heavyweight call for him to resign, hours before the European election results pose the next big test for his embattled leadership.
Lord Falconer of Thoroton, the former Lord Chancellor, called for an “urgent debate” within the Labour Party on the future of the Prime Minister.
The former flatmate of Tony Blair said that the party may be unable to restore the unity it needed as long as Mr Brown was at the helm.
“I think we are moving moderately quickly towards the need for a change and that change may be a change in leadership,” he told the Politics Show on BBC One.

“We need unity above all. Can we get unity under the current leadership? I am not sure that we can and we need to debate it urgently and I think probably it will need a change in leader.”

Lord Falconer, who hinted that he would make such a call last week, warned that if Mr Brown did not stand down there were candidates waiting in the wings who could challenge him.
“The Prime Minister first of all has got to consider what he thinks the mood of the party is. If he concludes that he should go then there will be a leadership election,” he said.
