Blears regrets resignation

[Tunku]

All I can say is HAHAHA. Childish I know, but it gives me the greatest satisfaction to see the dwarfish clown faced trough snuffler out.

[unrepentant]

She regrets the timing, not the resignation. The whole world knows she was getting sacked last Friday anyway.

These people do NOTHING that doesn't involve self interest.

Yeah, and *if* Brrooooon had quit, she'd have been in the papers saying how right she was and how she's the best candidate for the top job..!

Sorry love, you made your bed, now pull the covers over and go to sleep....

[Northern Munkee]

Obviously missing seeing herself on the telly.

Diddums.

[anonymous-user]

I bet she regrets it.

She thought her departure would spark a leadership challenge on Gordon Brown but old McStalin has too tight a reign on the rest of the party.

Now she's knackered and can at best look forward to a shadow cabinet post for the next 10 years or so.

And she has no doubt incurred the wrath of Lord Valdermort - oops, sorry, Lord Mandelson.

I'd be shaking in my pixie boots if I were her.

A politician should be able to assess and predict the likely repercussions of their actions before choosing which way to proceed. She did not because:

a. She is just plain stupid.
OR
b. She, and others, believed the media hype that Gordon Brown is to blame for all Labour's woes and sensing the chance to usurp him they tactically resigned and criticised his leadership. Not realising the non-entities they really are they overestimated the impact of their actions on Gordon Brown and his ability to outmanouvre them. They didn't realise that they are to blame as much as Gordon Brown for the apparent lack of trust in Labour and U.K mainstrean politics as a whole or tried to use him as a scapegoat for their collective wrongdoings.

In my opinion Gordon Brown's cabinet is now STRONGER now the weak minded fools have offloaded themselves. That said I'm not sure it's enough to save Labour from their doom!

[Jasandjules]

She presumably thought that others would resign, Brown would be forced out, and she'd be back in the cabinet quicker than a Garden Gnome catches a fish when replacement brought her back for "integrity". But now that's failed, so she wants back in anyways..........

Stupid, self serving disgrace to humanity that it is.

Individually not collectively though,

[Mclovin]

and denying the expenses, my god they dont give up do they...

[ianash]

She infer's by her statement that she was in part to blame for their disasterous election result. Her timing had no bearing, nobody could give a toss about her resignation. She'll be lucky to still be an MP at the next General Election and good riddance to her the fecking greedy trougher.

[V8mate]

Turns out that her apology has nothing to do with making amends with GB et al. I must admit, I did find it curious, as she had nothing to apologise to them for.

Apparently, she is facing a vote of no confidence by her constituency party; so she is clearly being publically remorseful to try and bring them back onside.

[Morningside]

I regret everything I done to upset Mr Brown...But as for the public? em!

Lady Blears?

[Dominic H]

Stop apologising, have the courage of your convictions and people might take you seriously. If your judgement is so piss-poor, you shouldn't have been in the sodding job in the first place, let alone making a balls up of your resignation.

[deadslow]

She's not apologising and she doesn't regret a thing except her local party activists are thoroughly pissed off with her perceived selfish sabotage of their efforts in the Euro election and they are trying to get her de-selected off the gravy train.

I'm tearing up

Thats exactly what I thought. She listed her "regrets" so methodically and in such a rehearsed manor, it was embarrassing. As said, if her judgement is so poor, she should never have had the job.

She really did come across as a snivelling wretch.
