Go on son...

Tom Harris MP

is clearly in a bit of a lairy mood today. He is defending Jane Kennedy, who this morning became the latest minister to quit Gordon's "government". It is far from a subtle dig, but seeing as he only has his seat to lose, rather than a government job, why doesn't he just go in for the kill?

The SNP beat Labour on his home patch last night and Harris is clearly playing the long game in raising his public profile through his blog this could be a bit of a problem. Come on Tom you might win some much needed support back home if you just come out and say what everyone knows you want to!

Or is there still some sort of secret brotherly code in the Scottish Labour Party?
