It was rather fun to watch the lobby correspondents shuffling around to see Hazel Blears’ face at PMQs.
She’d conveniently turned up late enough to not get a full-view position on the front bench, instead tucking herself down the side of the Speaker’s chair – not literally, though she’d probably fit.
Someone close to the Communities Secretary told Lobbydog today that the whole affair over her article was “more cock-up than conspiracy”.
Apparently the Observer called at the end of the working week for an article for the Sunday paper, and one was simply rushed out.
Blears' Youtube line - a play on Thatcher's "you turn if you want to" speech - seemed reasonable at the time, they said, but it was only later that they realised how it had been interpreted.
Do you believe it?

'Blear's' Youtube line my foot - I know exactly where she got it from - I had this piece up a week beforehand......
"YouTube if you want to, the laddie’s up for gurning"
Smiley model dwarf had a face like a duck's arse in a power dive. Delicious, pass the orange sauce!

She reminds me of my old Head of Service at NCC.
