Proof that the Government doesn’t always cock-up IT.

Labour MP and frequent blogger Tom Watson has 'declared' for Jon Cruddas. According to Tom, Cruddas is striving to energise the party's grass roots and has proved himself to be a good campaigner and as well as a savvy political operator.

Tom Watson has not yet decided who he will be backing for the deputy leadership, though he has decided that he will NOT be backing Alan Johnson. Does Tom have any regrets about his resignation? Who might he back in the deputy leadership race? Does he think Trident should be renewed and what does he have to say about the present state of the blogosphere?

Forget Webcameron, the most popular 'political video' on Youtube is the new 'home made' video blog from one T Watson MP. So it appears that Tommy Watson is back and ready to reclaim his crown as the king of the bloggers.

According to Andrew Rawnsley in today's Observer:

'Tom Watson, one of the Brownite plotters, could be seen wandering alone and sad along the streets of Manchester outside the conference security zone.'

Tom Watson et al.  The clock is ticking.  Where's Gordon?

Tom Watson has just resigned as junior Defence minister saying that it's not in the interest of the party and the country for Blair to stay in office
