GORDON Brown has been given a five-week deadline to transform Labour's fortunes or face a leadership challenge after the European elections.
Labour MPs are warning that the Prime Minister will face a challenge should the party do badly at the June 4 election.
The warning came after a disastrous week at Westminster that saw a humiliating Government defeat when the Commons voted to allow Gurkha veterans the right to live in Britain and an embarrassing U-turn on MPs expenses.
