If you're going to resign by flouncing out with maximum drama, tossing barbed comments about your boss over your shoulder, then Guru reckons you should at least stick to your guns and do it properly.
Ex communities secretary Hazel Blears took childish ministerial posturing to new heights last week, timing her high-profile exit to inflict the maximum possible damage on Labour's admittedly already rubbish European and local election prospects.
But the Salford MP now says she regrets mocking the PM's unintentionally hilarious YouTube video in an Observer article in October, and wearing a rather snazzy lapel badge saying "rocking the boat" - fully readable by papparazzi long lenses - as she quit.
A fine example to us all.
