David Blunkett (UK Home Secretary) seems to be in a spot of bother over his married lover's nanny and a fast track Visa application. So be it. It seems like he is going to fall on his sword here if the press continue with more "exciting" revelations.
You cannot ever justify a Home secretary getting involved, no matter how innocently, with individual Visa applications, particularly when he talks about limiting immigration. The Buck does stop with him and he should go.
As for Tony Blair saying that what an MP does in their private lives should remain private so long as it does not interfere with their jobs. This sounds reasonable, however, I don't recall him ever saying this when bashing the "weaknesses and foibles" of Conservative MPs prior to the 1997 General Election. Even a couple of weeks ago, he didn't say this when Boris Johnson was being sacked from the Shadow Cabinet!!
