John Hutton

I am confused, the BBC are reporting that John Hutton has resigned from the cabinet thus:

"Defence Secretary John Hutton has become the latest minister to quit the government - although he says he will remain loyal to Gordon Brown....

Mr Hutton said he thought fellow Blairite minister James Purnell had made "the wrong decision" and said Mr Brown was "the right man to lead our party and our country".

Mr Hutton told the BBC he was to stand down as an MP at the next election to pursue other projects."

Does nobody at the BBC think it worth reminding the public that it was John Hutton who memorably commented that Gordon Brown would be a "f***ing disaster as Prime Minister". Surely that sort of prescience deserves to be remembered.
