The Beginning of the End ?

Saying that Mr Blair has been 'hit' by six ministerial resignations, one must immediately add that they're all fairly 'Er - who ?' figures. Even so, their resignation letters make striking reading, and Tony Blair's response - both the letter sent to Tom Watson and the remarks to the Press about 'just going to sack him myself' and 'disloyal, discourteous and wrong' (now what does that order of priorities say ?) - don't suggest that he's quite 'got it' yet. It must be said - these are not 'the usual suspects' at all.

The BBC helpfully gives an overview of 'who's signing what', while one wonders whether to congratulate Labour on their openness compared to Tory or Lib Dem leadership plotting, or weep for them. Nick Assinder's comments are worth reading. Most of the 'runners and riders' need not be taken seriously - and if that memo wasn't a hoax ... ?!
