Watson’s No Longer On 

Comments:0   Add your comment
I’m no great Labour fan, but I have to admit I was disappointed to read about Tom Watson’s resignation from Cabinet on June 5th – on Twitter, no less.

I don’t think many Brits will be shedding tears over the departure of the likes of Jacqui Smith, Hazel Blears, Caroline Flint and James Purnell from Brown Gordon’s (now rather anaemic-looking) front bench, but Mr Watson’s a rare politician indeed – engaged, tech savvy and articulate on all things data and IT. Tom had been doing a great job championing the importance of information and all things digital within Westminster over the past 18 months – work which I only hope he can continue from the back bench.

So kudos, Tom. Hope you indeed can enjoy more quality time with your family while continuing to go the whole nine political yards.
