Alice Mahon quits labour

[Puggit]

Times Online

Seems that the email smears where the final straw after broken promises such as the Royal Mail sale - she also hated Blair and was waiting to see if Brown was any better. We already know the answer to that.

I crossed swords with her a few times via email, I think she had the responsibility for roads a while back. She was a very principled adversary.

Then she has no place in the Labour Govt.

I'm glad there is no place for old fashioned socialist in modern politics.

3 posts? Is that it? Bloody hell! Old P&P would have had 90 pages by now.

Anyhow, it just shows the Labour wheels are really falling off now. Snap election?

Very much doubt it. They know they're going down at the next election so will ride the gravy train until it hits the buffers.

Just a pity that someone with principles has no place either, I'd rather have her running the show then Brown
