If that’s the decision….He’s the Prime Minister

Margaret Beckett has revealed to Lobbydog her final moments as Housing Minister:

It was extremely brief. It was something like, ‘I’m afraid I’ll have to let you go’ and then some suggestion that there might be other things in time.

I’m not the kind of person to think, ‘how awful, he should have said more’. It’s the decision that matters, and if that’s the decision, then that’s the decision.

Lobbydog then asks if Brown had been in touch since June:

I haven’t seen him for a while now. But you don’t see him very often, he’s the Prime Minister.

A classic quote for the history books.
