Prime Minister Gordon Brown has started to show leadership qualities
Blears claim unacceptable - Brown
Gordon Brown has described cabinet minister Hazel Blears' expenses claim as "totally unacceptable behaviour".
Hazel Blears is history. It would be a sign of weakness if Gordon Brown is seen to be backing Hazel Blears for the next General Election. He must cut adrift those who no longer deserve a place in the life boat. And concentrate on the Saints within the party.
Mr Brown displays his mettle here: "He also cast serious doubt on the future of government whip Margaret Moran as an MP, describing her expenses claims as "completely unacceptable".
The Luton South MP is already under investigation after spending £22,000 to pay for dry rot treatment at her partners' home in Southampton.
She has agreed to repay the money and has been backed by her local party.
But Mr Brown said any Labour MP found to have "defied the rules" will not be allowed to stand at the next election".
In my view, it would be too hasty to write Gordon Brown off just yet. He holds the power to actually achieve more than David Cameron can promise to deliver as leader of the opposition. Gordon Brown's strategy must focus upon keeping out Cameron and the Tories will dispose of him if he fails to deliver the Tory party to power.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Much too little far too late.
They lived it up while the going was good and now show remorse while they are standing in the dock. Not good enough.
Gordon is gone. The snorting, gurning git is finished. He never had any leadership qualities, only aspirations and personal ambition. He never sought a mandate from the people because he knew he wouldn't get it.He's embarrassing, oafish, and soon to be sent packing, not a moment too soon.
