Pull the Other One, Mr Blunkett

The Sun's Whip column has a story about David Blunkett dreaming he was back in the Cabinet and being overcome with relief to wake up to discover he was still a mere backbencher.

I think most readers will think this is double-speak by Blunkett. Does anyone seriously believe that if he was offered another Cabinet job he wouldn't get Sadie* to bite Gordon Brown's hand off? He'd be back in his grace and favour apartment before you could utter the words "A bet on a third resignation, anyone?"

* Sadie is Blunkett's dog
