Jacqui Smith Has Gone... Hoorah...

It has been reported by various media outlets that Jacqui Smith asked to be relinquished of her duties as Home Secretary over two months ago. Combined with the news that three further Labour MPs are stepping down at the next general election, this is indeed a dark day for the Government.

It was not so much a straw that broke the camel's back, more of an avalanche. Let's have a quick review:

• The pre-charge detention limits for terrorism suspects
• The arrest of Damian Green
• The loss of crucial data from most of her sub departments
• Rejecting scientific evidence in favour of political motives
• Supporting the National ID card
  
• The pay row between the police and government
• Ignoring the European Court of Human Rights' decision concerning DNA and fingerprints of people with no criminal record
  
• The expenses claim that her main residence was her sisters house, not her constituency home
• Claiming for porn films on expenses (claiming she believes herself to be vindicated)
  

There is probably a lot more, but memory is against me... Something tells me history will not be too kind to Mrs Smith, if it remembers her at all.
