Digby Jones was possibly the weirdest of all Brown's appointments. On record that he has voted both Tory and Liberal, but has never voted Labour and never will, someone should always have asked him straight how he does or will now vote in local and European elections, and why.
And it looks as if someone might now have done just that. So he's off. If he were a Labour Party member, he'd be sacked on the spot for saying that he wanted to be out of the Government in time for the General Election, because he couldn't support the re-election of that Government. Just give it a moment to sink in.
Gordon, it's over to you.

Yeah, they expelled you (quite right too) so they should expel him too.
ReplyDeleteBest thing that ever happened to me.
ReplyDeleteThe Labour remnant round here keep asking me to come back (not least because they despise someone else, among their own number...), but I don't know what sort of battered wife they think I am, that I'd go back to the organisation that stole the best years of my life.
Of course, Labour can't expel Digby, because he's not actually a member in the first place. But it is ... well, what IS the word? ... that he is still a minister in a government from which he has already said that he intends to resign in order to campaign against it at a General Election.
