Caroline "I haven't read the Lisbon Treaty" Flint has resigned as Europe Minister, accusing Brown of using women in cabinet as "window dressing". But this part of her resignation letter struck me...
In my current role, you advised that I would attend Cabinet when Europe was on the agenda. I have only been invited once since October and not to a single political Cabinet - not even the one held a few weeks before the European elections.
You mean the Cabinet has ONLY discussed the EU ONCE in almost 9 months? Are you kidding? When 75% of legislation originates there it should be on every single Cabinet meeting agenda, no?

Why? There's nothing they can do about it so what would they spend time in cabinet doing?
CF: "Hey look, we've got another XXX rules/laws we have to implement."
GB. "OK, good, get on with it then. Next?"
Well said TGS!
The so-called "Blairites" are putting the boot into a decaying corpse one by one. It's unedifying watching them knife each other but at the same time highly amusing.
Can't wait for the European election results, did the Minister for High Heels (Flint) know something about them before the rest of us and decided to put another torpedo into the Good Ship Gordon before taking one of the few remaining lifeboats? We may never know
