Clarke plays Politics.

Well, well. It seems that one of our favourite Blairites still can't forgive our wonderful leader for sacking him from Home Secretary. He isn't allowing the leadership crisis to go out. With the situation cooling down slightly in the leadership struggle along came Charles Clarke to throw some petrol on it. Read more here. Another Labour man who has gone up in my estimation. Still subterranean but nevertheless higher than before. The best bit is he can claim the high ground and say he was supporting Blair.

I should be clear now, even to Brown, that the transition from Blair to himself is not going to go smoothly. That's why I'm a bit puzzled about his stupid schoolboy grinning yesterday. Of course he only needs one day to collect the pension and the PM tag on his CV.

Although on the bright side if all these candidates are looking like they will go for the job who will end up as chancellor? That surely is going to be a very unpopular slot I would have thought at this stage. All the Blairites will have to go no matter who gets in. Plus any Brownites if he loses. Will there be any seasoned politicians in the new Labour cabinet next year?

Human nature. You can't beat it and politicians are some of the lowest in our society. There may be honour among thieves but there is none among politicians.
