The rats start leaving the sinking ship.

I have been boycotting Sainsbury's for some time because of his support for Labour. This won't make any difference to me.

He's the biggest donor to Labour and has, therefore, played a part in keeping this revolting shower in Government.

Worse still, he is a committed europhile.

His excuse for going is (according to the BBC 1 Television 10 pm news) that he "wants to spend more time on charity work." Well, at least that's a change from the usual excuse given by fleeing ministers (from both this rabble of a Cabinet and from the useless Major regime before it) which was always "wants to spend more time with the family."
