Blunkett Gets Dumped Again

Former UK Home Secretary David Blunkett got trampled by a cow while on walkabout yesterday when the cow decided to chase after Blunkett's seeing-eye dog. The MP and former government minister broke a rib and sustained sum bruising, but was otherwise all right.

He says that the incident his given him in new insight into Labour's problems and says he's a metaphor for what's happening to the Labour party: "I have a broken rib and am bruised all over but am still walking."

"Even the animals are angry with us," he said of his embattled party. That about sums it up, but for now, Gordon Brown's government continues to cling to life.

The dog, by the way, escaped unharmed.
