who is sticking the knife into whom?

a reader writes

Salter has attempted to grab kudos over the latest failed coup - releasing the text message of reprimand that he sent to Hoon and Hewitt.
He said that it ill behoved an ex Chief Whip (Hoon) to behave in such a dastardly manner and as for Hewitt, he couldn't see why she was sticking her oar in as she was making a lot of dosh from external jobs (BT) and was standing down anyway.
He ensured that his text message was the first read out by Newsnight.
Of course Gordon has made a total hash of everything - but I would have thought that the fates could have spared him the dubious pleasure of being 'protected' and patronised by the likes of Salter.

Quite.

Any truth in the rumour[s] regarding Malcolm Powers and the situation in the South East?

Good result all round really - Brown weakened further (yes, I didn't think it was possible either), Labour MP's shown up as spineless - Minibrain especially - and Brown still resolutely at the helm of the SS Labourtanic as she steams towards the iceberg.
Terrific Stuff.
