Hazel Blears is sorry!

Bless

Hazel regrets doing what she did on the eve of the european elections, and denies that it was meant to inflict maximal damage on Gordy. She says it wasn't a plot to to get rid of the pm, and wants to get back to helping the labour party connect with the British people.

No, someone who make a decision to resign on the eve of an election, who wears a brooch with the words "Rocking the boat", and makes a speech commenting on Gordies youtube appearence, with the the title "YouTube if you want to", is not one of Gordies fans.

But to then say she didn't mean it, she apologised, it was regrettable that she caused such a firestorm, might be seen by some as an act of genuine contrition.

Until you see that the government didn't collapse (as a cynic might have thought she thought it would), that her constituency is looking at ways to remove her, that Gordie wants her back, and that he had written 'a really nice letter following her resignation'.

Others might see that as out and out hypocrisy.
