Another wild stab in the dark is what the PM has just received from yet another cabinet minister today at 10:00pm as the polling stations closed. There was no warning and absolutely no respect or gratitude for the cabinet position that was given to him ahead of his time.
James Purnell plunged the knife in and looks to have twisted it around a bit in the process by giving his resignation this evening. He wants a leadership contest. He must know that what he has done will result in a general election and the defeat of his party. I think he has thought this through very carefully.
He is young. If Labour go into opposition now then by the time they get back into power, he will be a little bit older and a little bit wiser. He will also have cabinet experience so there is a very good chance if he backs the right horses (and I don't mean Mr Ed!) that he will end up in a very cushy place.
I would not recommend a game of cards with this man and I'm not sure I would lend him a fiver either.
