Well it seems to be going from ‘Bad to Worse’, or better depending on your point of view as Hazel Blears jumps the fast sinking ship that is now Labour.
Who will be next?
I have never really understood what she has done in politics over the past few years. She had a number of 2nd division ministerial positions (PPS’s etc.) but currently she is (was) the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, incidentally the person responsible for the Local Government elections tomorrow!
I would think that this has something to do with the impending reshuffle that would probably have seen her pushed out by the PM. But it is more about her MP’s expenses; where, once she had been found out, she flaunted the ‘pay-back’ cheque perhaps a bit too vigorously for the Presbyterian that supposedly is Gordon!
Don’t think that she will be missed for one second! But there again, would any politician?
One rule/law I would be introducing today (if I had the chance) would be to ban any politician that was involved however remotely or small in an expenses ‘scam’ from benefitting from any reward from the publication of their memoirs.
Of course the mainstream media who at this moment are in full ‘hanging’ mode, will soon be falling over their own troughs to get the latest and greatest. I can just see the headlines in Murdoch’s Sun, Blears Bears All!!!
Oh well! Lets hope the next batch do a better job, though according to a recent poll they are going have to work very hard to win back our trust.
VOTE TOMORROW – VOTE TOMORROW – VOTE TOMORROW
Did you vote by post? I did , could not believe how big the voting sheet was this time.
Will you vote tomorrow? It is your right and you must exercise it!
I don’t care who you vote for, just make sure that you go out and put your tick in a box. You won’t know how important it was to have this right, until one day you find that you can’t vote. Then who will you blame?
VOTE TOMORROW – VOTE TOMORROW – VOTE TOMORROW
