You'd think he would slip in quietly, grateful for a second chance but oh no ~ the big mouthed b@st@rd has been all over the media like a measles rash.

Dear Mr Hain,
In desperation Gordon Brown, a failed Prime Minister who is surely doomed to be remembered as a total failure, has decided to turn to you in an attempt to garner some support in Parliament and invited you to rejoin the government. You have accepted his offer but not with humility and gratitude, rather you have been on every news broadcast spouting total and utter nonsense once again. Will you never learn?

You are not the peoples choice anymore than Gordon Brown is. Your term in office will be short as we, the electorate, fully intend to do everything in our power, power that you have colluded in diminishing, to ensure that you and your ilk never again darken the corridors of our once great parliament.
Whilst we wait patiently for our opportunity will you please do us all a favour and shut your big mouth and take time to think about your utterances.

Exclusive - Labour's spin lines on reshuffle/Purnell/elections

Quote from: Paul Waugh
If anyone doubts just how coordinated this Downing Street fightback has been, here's the proof.

I've been leaked a secret Labour party memo that has been emailed to all MPs and ministers this morning, stuffed with lines to take on everything from Purnell's resignation to the reshuffle to the election results.

It bears an uncanny similarity to the remarks by Peter Mandelson, Jim Knight, David Miliband, Liam Byrne, Harriet Harman, Jack Straw, Douglas Alexander, and others who have hit the airwaves in the last few hours.

MPs and ministers can't, of course, have minds of their own, so they are spoonfed lines in the first person. I particularly loved the personal touch of "I think the whole cabinet have found James Purnell's resignation surprising and disappointing" and "I am obviously disappointed by James's resignation".

Compare and contrast next time you hear any minister on the telly or radio.

Read it and weep...  noooo:

I confidently expect one of those "the Minister thanks you for your communication" replies

Peter Hain is not known for his ability to accept the truth nor for his charm and good manners.
