Lewis blows his lid 30 March, 2008

I have observed for some time the opportunism or Ivan Lewis MP, anyone that knows him, recent family problems notwithstanding will know that he has never failed to grab an opportunity, dedicated his life to his own career advancement and has fancied himself as a high flyer.

In fact his positively resents that his predecessor as loosing Labour candidate in Bury South 1992 now MP for Salford is a high flyer in the cabinet and his 27 hours days are not rewarded.

So now he mouths off to a newspaper about how out of touch this government is, what is all the more remarkable is, its about the first time I agree with him.

What I do observe is, that the constituency he represents is very much middle England and Labour are finally loosing its grip there, keenly assisted by the Conservative Uber campaigner and candidate Michelle Wiseman. Ivan is truly rattled, what is certain is that this is the long end to his ministerial career, watch out for him in the next reshuffle.
