..but not now Tessa. Not Now.
Government going through a sticky patch.
Olympic games comes along.
Team GB is doing rather well - very well. It may be that just a little of the Olympic feel good factor will spill over into life in general and people will start to feel better about themselves. And it's then that people start to care more about their neighbours and start voting Labour again.
OK - a bit wishful thinking, but it is certainly true that people don't vote Labour if they think the country is going to hell in a handcart, whether we are in power or opposition.
So, assuming that just a smidgen of Olympic fairy dust was about to fall on Gordon Brown's shoulder, the last thing we needed was for for Tessa Jowell to open her gob and blow it all away.
says Jowell. And no Olympic fairy dust for the Government.
