WHETHER Home Secretary David Blunkett is guilty or innocent of the charges against him, I don't think he has much chance of surviving this onslaught.

The allegations will be slowly drip-fed by the press and his ex-lover until the pressure on him is so great he will give in and resign.

The opposition political parties need to do nothing more than watch and wait - it is manna from heaven for them.
