You read it here first

James Purnell has just told Labour parliamentary researchers that if no credible candidate comes forward by noon tomorrow he will stand.

BTW, was David Blunkett's cracked rib really the result of a stampede of cows or did he do it laughing?

I hate Purnell with a venomous and spiteful loathing that would see me cheer at him coming a cropper.

He's a nasty careerist who would join any party if he thought it would further his profile and swell his ego.

Sad thing is I think since Blair people are going for the vaguely pleasant looking suited and booted thing...some might think of him as a "left (hah!) version of Cameron.

Oh I hate him, hate him, hate him

He's an opportunistic wide-boy and a complete slimeball

And arrogant enough to believe he would be a credible major player.

This just gets worse & worse........they're a bunch of charlatans.

Let's remind ourselves of snippets from his resignation letter shall we.

quote:
It calls for a government that measures itself by how it treats the poorest in society. Those are our values, not David Cameron's.

What like making disabled people your scapegoats and trying to charge 20 odd% interest on DPW fricking CRISIS LOANS!?

quote:
I am not seeking the leadership, nor acting with anyone else. My actions are my own considered view, nothing more.

And it only took you 4 days James, well done! What a stand up guy.

Completely agree. After what he's been trying to push through at the DWP he shouldn't show his face in public ever again.

His "bright" ideas at the DWP have been a complete shambles from beginning to end Peter

It was only Gordon Brown vetoing the interest on DWP loans that prevented Purnell shooting himself right in the foot! Even the Tories were horrified at his proposal to act as a bloody loan shark to the poor.
