Peter Hain should be made grounds keeper at Lords or the Oval. Oh, hang on they are in London. Better make that Edgbaston.

Peter Hain (well-known as an idiot) threw his hat in the ring to be Gordon Brown's deputy. The Times stated that the best way he could help the new Prime Minister would be as a weights and measures envoy in Brussels!

The only positive thing you could say about Hain is that he could not be more incompetent than Prescott. Could he?

Bit out of date that JB, but funny how nearly all the same faces, just departments changed.

For a thing on my blog I was looking at previous governments back to Wilson the other day, and it's odd how this same thing happens. The incoming government chooses a team and then these same characters are moved around in every reshuffle including post election ones. There are few who leave the government and few who join it.

Naturally I find this very sinister.

Remeber Francis Urquhart in House of Cards?

"Me? Well, I'm just a backroom boy."
"You might well think that. I couldn't possibly comment. "

Environment Secretary David Miliband says he is not planning to be a contender for the Labour leadership or deputy leadership.
Mr Miliband told BBC News: "I am not a runner nor a rider for any of the jobs that are being speculated about."
