48 hours is a long time in politics, especially the 48 hours since Prime Ministers Questions on wednesday when Tony Blair defended the Home Office Minister and said he should be left to sort out the mess he'd created. Now he's gone, to be replaced by the equally loveless John Reid. Shagger Prescott has had some of his toys confiscated and Jack Straw's been demoted, presumably for the PR nightmare that was letting Condeleeza Rice into the country a while back. Nice to see Margaret Beckett moved to foreign secretary, probably the least New Labour Scum of the New Labour Scum.
