Yep, there was a blog in the Tele trying to pull all that together yesterday, pointing out that Tessa Jowell was the only one in Cabinet pushing to support the bid. She should be very proud of herself this morning, for that level of foresight and belief in what we could all achieve as a nation. IIRC the discussion was about the small decisions making a big difference over many years, which is how Major also got a name-check for bringing in the Lottery and structuring it so that it funded grassroots sport amongst other things.
