Re: European Elections (4.00 / 2)
Minister quits as backbiting continues - UK Politics, UK - The Independent
Gordon Brown faced another fierce attack from a minister who quit government today as he prepared for a showdown with his own MPs.
Jane Kennedy said she was not re-appointed as an environment minister because she refused to give a pledge of loyalty to the Prime Minister.

She said she told him in a "frank and honest" phone call this morning "I could not offer him the support he was asking for".

And she hit out at "smears" of colleagues by people associated with No 10. She added that if Mr Brown stayed on to the bitter end it would spell "the bitter end of the Labour Party".

Outside her constituency office in Liverpool, Ms Kennedy said: "He did not re-appoint me. My view was I was sacked. His view is that I resigned. In the end it was my choice to go."

Re: European Elections (none / 0)
About the only thing of note is how the Cabinet seems to comprise mostly of replaceable nobodies these days. As Newspeak is a version of language in which alternative thought is impossible, NuLab is a party where representatives are chosen based on their unwillingness/inability to provide alternative  thinking or viewpoints within the Party.

I Love Tony Blair
