Jesus Christ... ANOTHER one gone?! John Hutton abandoning ship as well. It seems everytime I switch the news on, Gordon Brown's cabinet shrinks.

Geoff Hoon has just quit the cabinet now.

Gordon's doing a press conference at some point after 4pm this evening. Wonder if he'll resign too?

Edit: Ian Gibson, Labour MP for Norwich North, resigns from parliament with immediate effect and triggers a by-election. They're dropping like flies!

Better than a PM who doesn't seem to govern anybody - including his own party.
