Chipmunk gophers Gordon's nuts!

Hazel Blears has decided that the time has come to take a gouge out of Gordon, politically speaking of course. Today she has resigned from the Cabinet as Communities Secretary in order to spend more time in her community, namely Salford. Yesterday it was the Home Secretary, tomorrow will it be someone else. Not Geoff Hoon, because he hasn't got the scruples or even the photo montage kid, James Purnell, who is equally guilty of expense immorality. These two, though, have not done anything to upset the Presbyterian Conscience. Hazel did, even though her misdemeanors were so similar as to warrant a forensic examination to spot the difference.

So, Hazel has gone. This government isn't imploding, it's exploding. It's more like a firecracker with lots of little explosions. Those explosions get bigger by the day.

PMQs is coming up soon. I'll be watching to see how it all goes for the Prime Minister. Watch for a lot of gulping air from him and glum faces from those behind him. Jack Straw's face is the one to watch. If he doesn't look supportive, I reckon he will be choosing the words to use when he tells Gordon that the game's up!
