Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I mean really, Hazel effin Blears as Communities Secretary. Almost as laughable as Blair as Middle East peace envoy.
Postscript: If only it had stopped with Hazel Blears. The true extent of Gordon Brown's contempt for traditional Labour values and its grassroots membership became clear with the appointment of thuggish, union-hating, public-school oaf, Digby Jones as minister in the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. If anything torpedoes the illusion that Brown marks a significant break with Blairism then surely it is this appointment.
