...would mean a central plank of Blair's push to rejuvenate British education - and his broader drive to find ways of modernizing public services without raising taxes - would stand rejected by his own M.P.s. "Disastrous" is how a senior aide envisioned that scenario last week. Then there's Lord Hutton, who releases his exhaustive report into the suicide of David Kelly, the government weapons scientist who found himself caught in a furious row between Downing Street and the BBC over whether Blair oversold the case for war in Iraq. A direct finding that Blair lied when he denied any role...
...government had ?sexed up? its intelligence dossier on Iraq to bolster its case for war, announced that he would publish his findings on Jan. 28. The timing of Lord Hutton's report, coming the day after a crucial parliamentary vote on university tuition fees, leaves Prime Minister Tony Blair facing the toughest 48 hours of his premiership.

The Hutton Inquiry has certainly given us a fascinating insight into how the government is run and what sort of influence the Prime Minister's appointees, such as communications chief Alastair Campbell, have over government policies...
...courtly Lord Hutton, exemplar of the British establishment, formally ended his brisk, floodlit march into its innermost corners last week. He will not have an easy time figuring out why weapons expert David Kelly was moved to kill himself in July. A psychiatrist suggested that Kelly's public exposure - after admitting to his managers that he had talked to BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan - had caused "the severe loss of self-esteem ... from feeling that [his employers] had lost trust in him."
