David Cairns resigns

Hi again. Just a wee quick post this time, as I've just heard the news that David Cairns has resigned as a minister in the Scotland office. David Cairns, who also played a big role in Labour's failed Glasgow East by-election campaign, resigned in a protest against Brown (at least it looks that way) and has now made yet another major blow to the Prime Minister, esspescially after a weekend where a total of 12 Labour MP's and ministers rebeled against Gordon Brown by asking for a leadership contest!!

Now let's be honest, I dought anyone really expects there to be a leadership contest anytime soon, but what it has shown is that even his own MP's have lost faith with him!!

This will definitly not help his chances of avoiding defeat at Glenrothes!!
