SKY NEWS: Gordon Brown has said he will step down as leader as Nick Clegg asks for talks between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
In a statement outside Downing Street, Mr Brown said he had "no desire to stay in my position longer than needed" and would leave by the party conference in September.
He said he will ask the Labour Party to begin the process for a leadership election but that he will not stand or intervene. >>> Ruth Barnettt, Sky News Online | Monday, May 10, 2010
