Is someone digging for dirt?

I don't deny I'm cynical, but some may remember the other week I wondered what Tom Watson was up to when he kept on asking about Demos. Well he's still at it now asking whether they were present at meetings etc.

The cynic in me wonders whether this might just be linked to James Purnell taking on a role with them. Watson is a Brownite loyalist. Purnell did Brown in the back and is a potential leadership challenger. No love lost there methinks.

So, and I'm just throwing these questions out there. Is Watson digging for dirt? Could it be that, in the wake of the McBride scandal, he resigned from Government so as to create distant between political plays and the Government machine?

It's all very intriguing.
