				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.
