James Purnell photoshops himself out of politics

Former cabinet minister who turned out to be a failed anti-Brown suicide bomber, James Purnell, has announced he is to leave Parliament at the general election. So another Labour MP, and another Blairite, passes through the Labour resignation floodgates.

Apart from his attempt to sink Brown the moment the Euro-election polls closed last year, Purnell is memorable for only one other event. He was late for a photo call at a hospital in Greater Manchester, so he had himself photoshopped into the photo he missed. Now he has photoshopped himself out of politics.
