Hazel Blears waves goodbye to cheque

Hazel Blears sat calmy on the Government front bench at PMQ's looking like a very frightened chipmunk. She listened intently to Gordon Brown's replies to David Cameron. No condemnation of the cheque wavers, not much to worry the parliamentary party. The PM was putting his faith in yet more committees. Hazel lives to fight another day. Any verbal fisticuffs will be done behind closed doors.

The Liberal Democrats are paying back en masse. The Tories are in similar vein. Hazel Blears is leading the way for the Labour repayment programme.
