TAKEN FROM RICHARD LITTLE JOHNS COLUMN IN THE SUN TODAY
<LI>BEVERLEY HUGHES is the worst kind of New Labour harridan.
She is smug, self-satisfied, dismissive and immune to criticism.
She clearly believes she has a God-given right to sit in government.
Hughes has misled Parliament and dumped on junior civil servants in her refusal to accept blame for the immigration figures fiddle.
It now emerges that, despite what she told MPs, she personally gave orders that 100,000 immigrants were to be nodded through on the hurry up with virtually no proper checks.
David Blunkett is standing by her.
He insists she will not be resigning.
His bizarre excuse is that these 100,000 people were not new arrivals but were already living in Britain when they were granted leave to remain. What he doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t explain is what, exactly, they were all doing here in the first place.
