Sky are saying this
But the Daily Telegraph now reports Hazel Blears' resignation as Communities Secretary was triggered by the discovery that she avoided paying tax on the sale of a second property.
The paper says the property had been designated as her second home for the purposes of claiming expenses but was declared as her first home for tax purposes.
"She was apparently concerned that the full details would soon emerge - possibly as early as today," the paper said.
However, a spokesman for Ms Blears said the information had been available on her website since last month and insisted the allegations had "nothing to do with her decision to resign".

Rats leaving a sinking ship.
I seem to recall a similar scenario towards the end of Majors government. I suppose it's a product of any British government that's been in power too long.
Good riddance indeed Mitch.
