Westminster is the Home with few exceptions of Charlatans, a place where they can practice their skills without fear of prosecution (largely).

The last Minister I can confidently say was not a Charlatan was D Blunkett.

Frank Field for me, and he was sacked for doing what he was tasked with doing, so much for labours caring attitude, hypocritical bastards.

No he was sacked because he was failing to communicate a credible way forward. Frank Field seems to believe he is as bright as Stephen Hawking and as eloquent as a Hollywood actor. He is neither but that hasn't stopped him telling everyone how smart he is and as a final straw how he should be promoted despite failing

With Harriet Harman, David Clark and Gavin Strang all leaving the Cabinet - unexpectedly joined by Lord Richard, Leader of the Lords - the day's unscheduled drama was provided by Frank Field, doyen of rightwing welfare reformers.

Refused Ms Harman's job as Social Security Secretary and asked to leave the Department of Social Security - where his failure to provide effective reform options has disappointed Mr Blair - Mr Field turned down two other offers, as 'fraud czar' or a cross-departmental drugs minister. Instead Mr Field returned to the back benches, leaving Tory and Lib Dem MPs to protest that welfare reform is in tatters.
