A picture of unity?

James Purnell Back row, sixth from left The former work and pensions secretary resigned from the cabinet last June, urging Gordon Brown to stand down. His advice was ignored. Ed Balls Back row, seventh from left The schools secretary was quick out of the traps on Wednesday with a loyal TV appearance, but may be a key loser as Brown eschews class politics. Geoff Hoon Back row, eighth from left The former transport secretary was co-star of the Wednesday plot with Patricia Hewitt. 'Labour thrives on political debate,' he explained. Ed Miliband Back row, seventh from right Energy and climate change secretary beat his brother on Wednesday with quick message of support for PM. Strengthens his position as leadership contender. Andy Burnham Back row, fifth from right Health secretary, a modernising Blairite, earned top marks for loyalty after assured appearance supporting Brown after the coup attempt. Jack Straw Front row, fifth from left Justice secretary whose support for the coup attempt could have been fatal for Brown. Instead furious to be named by the BBC as a potential quitter. Alistair Darling Front row, sixth from left Chancellor was one of the big winners. Confronted Brown in the aftermath of the coup attempt with demand that Labour comes clean about cuts. Gordon Brown Front row, seventh from left PM for just 30 months, he has survived numerous coup attempts. Even for those who find little else to admire , there is grudging respect for his staying power. David Miliband Front row, sixth from right Foreign secretary was a big loser. Belated and tepid endorsement for Brown left him looking dithery and disloyal, and added to his reputation as a 'bottler'. Douglas Alexander Front row, third from right International development secretary who denied claim by the BBC he was a plot supporter. A surprise addition given his previous loyalty to Prime Minister. Harriet Harman Front row, second from right Leader of the House was known to be determined to win a bigger role in the election campaign. Denied claims she was a potential plot supporter.
