Baby P: the evidence grows

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk Baby P: Ministers were warned babies were at risk It emerged last night that lawyers wrote to the then Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt, junior health ministers Rosie Winterton and Ivan Lewis, and David Lammy, the local MP for Tottenham, alleging that the social services department headed by Sharon Shoesmith was not following child protection procedures.

Labour will close Parliament early and stay on holiday longer. We are in an economic crisis of Gordon Brown's making. Children murdered while under Council supervision and it appears easier to have saved lives than let them expire, but all we will get is another useless inquiry. If 80 head teachers in Haringey think that Sharon Shoesmith is doing a good job, then perhaps they too should reflect on their futures?
I listened to Rosie Winterton on Any Questions, Radio 4 this past weekend. The sooner she resigns the better. If she thinks it is ok not to read her own correspondence then she is not fit for office. Labours rotten core has really floated to the surface.
