I agree, he was no match for Brown. What I remember is Cook carrying on a clandestine affair whilst we were hammering the Tories on sleaze and family values.

He still had more respect in one eylash than Blair had in his whole body. I don't really care if he had an affair. He took a principled stand on Iraq, and resigned.

A pity then that his principles didn't extend to other areas of his life.

What, do you mean like not selling peerages of cash or starting an illegal war? No he wasn't perfect, I stated I didn't even like him before he resigned. But his resignation showed that he was better than the rest of the cabinet.
