The tipping point for Hazel Blears

Brownites have been quick to point to Hazel Blears’s resignation and say “it’s a plot”.

But while there is a mutual support group, there have been conversations and in some quarters serious plotting, the Blears resignation I understand didn’t actually form itself in her mind until she saw in this morning’s Daily Telegraph that No 10 was fingering her for leaking Jacqui Smith’s resignation – part of a pattern of No.10 behaviour in her view.
