About time to. She has been a lame Home Secretary, one where the job carried her.

I hope the people of Redditch sent her on her way as well.

I wonder where her main home is today? Lets flip a coin...

TAKE BLEARS WITH YOU - ANOTHER WASTE OF SPACE !!!!

Three cheers.

One down 645 to go and the sooner the better

Overdue, should have gone last year over Police Pay she's been a shocker

Smith cannot defend her actions, the position of defending the country as home secretary is clearly above her. The court of public opinion is stronger than the arrogance of this woman. Perhaps she might volunteer as a member for a select committee on standards of decency as a benchmark for that which the public cannot tolerate.

Look on the bright side Jacqui, wear a smile like Blears does, there’ll be more quality family time to catch up on some cosy nights in watching tax payer funded video’s with hubby .

About time.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!! Many more to come, I hope

take your siamese twins Blears, Darling and Hoon with you, shame on you,

As useless an MP I've even seen. Hopelessly out of her depth, good riddance.

it appears that deception and fraud are endemic in the public sector. it's easy to spend someone else's money when there is no accountability. how far does this go? public servants, councillors, city hall? where are our taxes going? where's the balance sheet? and for how many years has this been going on? until somebody is publicly prosecuted, we won't know. and that may never happen becuase they duck off the screen by resigning or maybe the public sector police (vast amounts of overtime) and judges are part of the frenzy feeding and don't want to be exposed? after all it wasn't that long ago that we had a chief of police with thirteen mistresses and "nobody" knew.

Let her go with some grace. She may have a house to sell in Redditch and we know as it's her second home that a great big capital gains tax will need to be paid!!!

Just 590 more resignations to go and just 1 year left to achieve it. Bisto anybody?

What about the rumours of an establishment plot if it is true then it shows no Government have a chance because someone else is in control. Are the Government looking into the rumours of an establishment plot?. I suppose if it is true you just have to sit grin and bare it.

Some more great news on the political front, and not before time! As well as the Police pay fiasco, was this not the same numpty who thought that a good way to deter violence was to take an assailant to see some victims of crime whilst they were receiving treatment in the A& E Dept?? Ha ha ha ha - you have to laugh or you'd cry, how on earth could she be serious! This idea obviously came from the same 'who can think of the daftest idea' game as the one a predecessor by the name of Blunkett had - to slap rowdy troublemakers with a fixed penalty fine and march them straight to a cashpoint to pay it on-the-spot! And what's either really funny or tremendously worrying - depending upon your viewpoint - is that some people will STILL go out and vote for the likes of these fantasists and their party on Thursday...

I'll try again, something upset the moderator before.

This is a joyous day and I feel so happy to see the rather inept Jacqui Smith going as well as that supporter of a nanny state, Patricia Hewitt and the other nanny type of woman, Beverley Hughes. If anything turned the stomach it was listening to the nannying tones of what were once known as Blair's babes. Good riddance to the lot of them. They'll be able to spend more time with their partners now and I bet they're going to be really happy about it.

`frostee, if your stomach was turned by Blair's babes then you have no backbone.

I am a firm believer in the every dog has its day .... And today SMITH had hers !!!!!

Any words couldn't convey my feelings as much the smile on my face, so I'll save them on here.

The Greens are untainted by the expenses scandal. They are best placed, statistically, to see off the BNP on Thursday. By voting Green, you can give the mainstream parties a gentle kick up the backside for the expenses scandal AND put the BNP back in its box (or back under its stone).

The Greens reject as false the choice between ‘economy' or the ‘environment' - both can be achieved together. Even Obama agrees with this--though it remains to be seen if he delivers.

The Green European Election manifesto sets out a plan for creating 1 million jobs through investment in renewable energy, housing, public transport and social care.

The Greens call this the GREEN NEW DEAL - an approach to the economy that puts Britain firmly on the road to recovery, addresses the urgent climate crisis, while improving the way we all lead our lives.

This is how the Green New Deal proposes to tackle the most pressing problems we face today:

- A new architecture for the financial system so that it serves the ‘real' economy and a MASSIVE CLAMPDOWN ON TAX AVOIDANCE by the big employers and the multinationals to generate £10 billion in revenue.

- Energy efficiency measures for UK homes, schools and hospitals to create 80,000 jobs, reduce harmful emissions and cut fuel bills. Insulate the nation's homes and buildings to minimise needless wastage of energy.

- Free social care for the elderly to improve quality of life and create 60,000 jobs. Bring back the home helps (remember them?) for pensioners to help them maintain their homes and provide a bit of company once a week.

- Massive increase in the proportion of electricity that comes from renewable sources - raising wind energy production to the same level as Denmark by 2020 would alone create 200,000 jobs.

A plan for tackling rising unemployment and the threat of climate change.

The message this election is clear - it is not necessary to choose between jobs and the environment - the Greens offer the best of both worlds.

Er, can anyone tell me why nothing seems to be happening to Blears?

Good riddance. Get them all out and let's have a General Election.

It is said that you can identify a socialist government by the fact that eventually everyone is promoted according to their level of incompetence.

The time has come when she is being forced to come to terms with her limitations and the true nature of the beast and its self interests and motivations.

The time to be called to account is fast approaching and a certain National Newspaper has raised plenty of money to fund private prosecutions where they think necessary. I wonder who they will turn to first ?

In the words of Mozza from Manchester - Strangeways Here We Come !

MPs have always lied and always will, thats the way things get done. It's only some prat who wants to look good for the elections that has let the cat out of the bag.

You know what, I'm gonna be a bit unpopular here, but I actually quite liked her.

I know, I know. her house stuff was disgraceful, but she always came across as caring about her job. And it was nice to see a woman in the role.

I don't reckon she's the worst.

she's going now - give her a break

*cookie monster runs for cover*

Its like the muppet show this goverment now lets sort the councilors out.
