Blimey, Clare Short may be going down but she's determined to take the PM with her.
"I think Tony Blair has enormous achievements under his belt and it would be very sad if he hung on and spoiled his reputation."
Which of course begs the question of how, after two bombing campaigns, does she think he can make it worse for himself?
Mr Blair had failed to stand up to President Bush - and was not so much a poodle ("poodles get off their lead and jump about") as a figleaf. "Fig leaves just stay where they are," she told the Guardian.
But the fact that the Tories didn't seem to be making any attempt to make capital out of this yesterday (or maybe they were and the evil BBC was hiding it from us) suggests that the only people excited about this are the people that write the columns for newspapers.
